Greetings Collier liinutes And Records
Ann left me a phone message and I was unable to call before noon, when she was no longer going to be available. She suggested I follow up with an email to this address and
hopefully my fat fingers have gotten it to the correct place.
I received a notice indicating m}! homestead exemption was no longer valid for 601 T� Ave S. apt 204, Maples, FL 3.1102. I called the Appraiser's Office because I was unable to
ascertain why the exemption was being taken away. The lady I spoke with indicated it was because I had rented it out for over 30 days for the last two rears. which is correct. I work
for myself and had work in Venice and was able to find someone to rent my home while away, which when you work for }ourself, the cash flow is sometimes creative. Taxes were
paid for a short-term rental as well as normal real estate taxes. The lady- on the phone took me to through the Appraiser's website and showed me the information, which was an
education I didn't realize I needed. I re -read the notice as well as the statutes cited and between the notice acid the 196.031. I did find in section 196.031 (>)(b) information on the
notice, which doesn�t appear to conform to the statute:
(b) The notification must state in clear and unambiguous language the specific requirements of
the state statutes which the property appraiser relied upon to deny the applicant the exemption
Mth respect to the subject property. The notification must be drafted in such a way that a
reasonable person can understand specific attributes of the applicant or the applicant`s use of the
subject property which formed the basis for the denial. The notice must also include the specific
facts the property appraiser- used to determine that the applicant failed to meet the statutory
requirements, if a property appraiser faits to provide a notice that complies with this subsection,
any denial of an exemption or an attempted denial of an exemption is invalid.
Specifics about the rental were not noted and it doesn't allow one to understand in unambiguous language why we no longer qualify. Based on this and there was never any, intent of
this not being my homestead — cmy husband and I have lived here since 2005 — I would like to appeal this decision and allow us to maintain our homestead exemption.
Thanks for your consideration and I appreciate anything you can do help me maintain the current tax burden I have on my home.
If you need anv further information, please do not hesitate to contact me (239-784-5113).
