..."When the statute is clear and unambiguous, courts will not look behind the statute's plain language for legislative intent or resort to rules of statutory construction to ascertain intent." Daniels v. Fla. Dep't of Health, 898 So.2d 61, 64 (Fla.2005). Here, the statute is clear and unambiguous. Section 163.358, Florida Statutes (2006), of the Community Redevelopment Act provides that " [e]ach county and municipality has all powers necessary or convenient to carry out and effectuate the purposes and provisions of this part." (Emphasis added.) One of the "provisions of this part" is section 163.387, Florida Statutes (2006), authorizing the use of tax increment financing to fund community redevelopment. Section 163.358 does not limit the exercise of power to carry out this provision of the Community Redevelopment Act only to those counties and municipalities that levy ad valorem taxes. In addition to the general statement in section 163.358, the Community Redevelopment Act lists the discrete steps a county or municipality must undertake to employ tax increment financing under the Act, and no step requires that Parker levy ad valorem taxes....
