“Service Plan Budget”

Looking at the Elbert County Independence development “Engineering Estimates and Map of Improvements“, simple math suggests the project costs are going to REALLY swamp the new homeowners with crushing property taxes. By their own estimates, $184 Million divided by 920 lots is $200,000 per lot.  $200,000.00 PER LOT! And that doesn’t include the actual home!

Independence Special District Estimated Costs

“Ahem” – unless of course it’s really 2,500 homes and they plan to start exporting water and sewer services…

Like Elbert County Commissioner Grant Thayer said about Independence, “BUYER BEWARE“.
