Lake County Finances Show Marked Tax Relief Progress
Fuller notes Florida counties like Lake County and West Palm Beach improved debt structures after refunding road bonds. In 1935 Lake County owed 7.345 million on road bonds, refinanced to a permanent 4 percent, lowering the debt to 5.4 million. Ad valorem taxes fell from 543 thousand to 60 thousand, aided by gas revenue and options. School bonds dropped 330 thousand from 1.4 million.
