Officials in the Florida Keys settled with the owners of West Fanny, an island on the bayside of Marathon, after bulldozing native trees and vegetation that were home to birds and other wildlife without permits.

In that case they shouldn't talk about private island seems to me it is a public property not really private

He forgot to pay off the local politicians who give the permits that's how things work in South FL.

Even a private island needs permits.

So, when you buy a home, does that mean you can do anything you want? The answer is no. There's still rules, dummy.

@@MaxItUpwithMarta They are still doing that!?? Thought there was a big clampdown on it in the late 80’s, early 90’s? Or was that just Key West in the mid - late 80’s? Parents had a killer apartment in Key West as a getaway place when in jr high, high school.
So for a fee you can knock down the tree on YOUR LAND but without the FEE you can 't. Doesn't seem like they own the island.
This doesn’t seem fair they bought the islands

They didn't pay the license fees so that why the city is upset. The public idk why they're upset seeing they're all hypocrites and we're just switching on someone doing what they should be allowed to do.
I'm confused ... Who's the real owner of the island 🤷🏾♀️
The Private Island 🏝 comes with the best lawyers! ))
Who ever buys ANY property in the keys has to be CRAZY.

I mean the value only goes up significantly every year. And basically all the billionaires in the world have properties down there soo yea.... you don't know what your talking about at all. The money the keys make is unbelievable and it's only getting more gentrafied every year.
I don't like what they did to the island. But does it belong to them or not?
What good is an island you can't touch? I'm sure no permits will ever have been allowed. Just make it public land at this point. Useless to own
Guess there's no real ownership
Who is the owner???
Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful.

It is disgusting the city is fining them
But I do wonder, do island owners also pay property tax? I do know property tax is still owed on vacant lands so nothing in the US of A is really owned by the American people that claims to own anything. If I understand correctly, in some cases you need approval or permits from city/state to remove trees/vegetation on any land or property.

That island is still part of the city of Marathon. Legally it's no different from any other plot of land within city limits.

Very true. It's pointless to own land you can't even touch. They should never let it become private land if this is the issue
I want trees!

Aww, Please! Charelle Sno, cool it.
Multi-Millionaires or Billionaires own the island. $100K settlement is a drop in the bucket! TI'm sure they are still planning for their private island house.
Puzzling, really?
land of the free untill you knock down trees on your own land. bahahhahaha
