A practical note, with reference....
See http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/dvc-property-taxes-to-rise.928040/#post-7754592
Regarding our property tax assessment.... if Humphrey is correct, and the VWL was legally "sold" to the developer? This could trigger a complete re-assessment of property taxes. One none of us asked for, and had no vote on.
WATCH your property tax assessments in the coming year - NONE OF US ASKED for any work to be done at the Lodge. I, for one, will complain LOUDLY if the WDW standard business practice of temporary sales to a contractor results in a cost increase to ME. Class action is not out of the question.
Let's see what happens - in the end? "Not my Monkey, NOT my Circus".
Dean I really have no idea where that speculation came from and find it about as unlikely of a rumor as could be. Disney World is not going to sell a tiny piece of property to whomever was speculated - and the developer was DVD who leases the land. Anyone else is just a contractor performing work. We all have real estate deeds to units that do not expire until 2042 so they could not sell the VWL building itself.
But it actually doesn't make a difference. From all accounts the assessor has greatly increased property valuations across WDW theme parks and existing resorts - and many other properties in Orlando saw the same thing including the other theme parks. They are all apparently filing lawsuits now over this.
