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 review of the application.
In reviewing the applicant for the vacant position, I have confirmed the following:
Ms.Jill Rosenfeld has homestead (granted homestead exemption beginning in the 2018 tax year) in
Collier County and that has been confirmed by the Property Appraiser' s Office by the Homestead
Director,Annabel Ybaceta. (Ms. Rosenfeld 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 Ms.
Rosenfeld 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 she is currently on any such taxing authority. If we find
at a future date that she violates this provision of the statute, her 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
