How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that section 125.01(1), Florida Statutes (1989), is to be liberally construed in order to secure for counties the broad exercise of their home rule powers
• noting that the local government bears the burden of “demonstrat[ing] that there is a reasonable connection between the need for additional schools and the growth in population that will accompany new development”
• upholding a county impact fee for school infrastructure that authorized the School Board to spend the fees collected “because the fundamental policy decisions have been made by the county, and the discretion of the school board has been sufficiently limited”
