Ms. Rodriguez,
This notification is in regards to the applicant that has responded to your vacancy request for the
Alternate VAB Homestead Citizen Member that is to be appointed by the Collier County Board
of County Commissioners to serve on the Value Adjustment Board. You had sent an email to
my attention and requested a response.
In reviewing the applicant for the vacant position, I have confirmed the following:
Mr.Shawn J. Kahn has homestead (filed for the 2016 tax year) in Collier County and that has been
confirmed by the Property Appraiser's Office by the Homestead Director, Annabel
Ybaceta. (Mr. Kahn is a first-time applicant for a position on the Value Adjustment Board).
I have also reviewed the Board of County Commissioners' records to confirm whether or not Mr.
Kahn has membership in any taxing authority. Per Florida Statute Chapter 194.015, " a citizen
member may not be a member or an employee of any taxing authority, and may not be a person
who represents property owners in any administrative or judicial review of property taxes ".
Based on the review of the BCC's records, I did not find where he is currently on any such
taxing authority. If we find at a future date that he violates this provision of the statute, his
appointment to the Value Adjustment Board,as the Board of County Commissioners' Citizen
member(Alternate)appointee, will need to be voided and a new appointment will need to be
made.
Regards,
Trish Morgan, Deputy Clerk
