MOFD $1,300 fee for installing a solar system
I can see why MOFD needs the additional revenue which will discourage people from doing something environmentally constructive.
Their long range financial forecast shows the General Fund reserve account growing from $18 million this year to $62 million in ten years, assuming a 3.5% increase in property taxes. Note, the property tax revenue has increased an average of 6% per year over the past ten years so the $62 million is a conservative number; could be $100 million.
They are barely scraping by.
