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.
