...The appellants raise two issues in this appeal, claiming that (1) the trial court erred in denying their motion to intervene, and (2) that the bonds do not serve a valid public purpose. Regarding the first issue, appellants contend that they are "interested persons" within the meaning of section 75.07, Florida Statutes (1993), which governs who may intervene in bond validation proceedings....
...They argue, however, that they are interested persons who have a right to intervene in this proceeding because, as part of their property agreement with the Developer, they have the right to use the facilities to be purchased through the revenue bonds at issue. Section 75.07 provides in pertinent part that "[a]ny property owner, taxpayer, citizen or person interested may become a party to the action by moving against or pleading to the complaint at or before the time set for hearing."

...n a bond validation proceeding if the taxpayer would be "adversely affected" by the outcome of the proceeding. [3] *1324 Similarly, in Belmont v. Town of Gulfport,
97 Fla. 688,
122 So. 10 (1929), this Court, interpreting the statutory predecessor of section
75.07, found that a "citizen" had standing to intervene in a bond validation proceeding if the citizen had "a justiciable interest in the litigation." (Emphasis added.) In essence, under each of those cases, an individual had to be subject to gaining or losing something as a result of a bond issuance before the individual could intervene. We conclude that these interpretations are equally applicable to the term "person interested" as set forth in section
75.07. Accordingly, we find that a "person interested," within the meaning of section
75.07, is anyone who has a justiciable interest in a bond validation proceeding because he or she stands to gain or lose something as a direct result of the bond issuance....
