�;-y.I3 <br /> 6/3/13 <br /> Attached please find a report of FL's low-come Senior Exemption by <br /> County. <br /> This report shows that 10 counties immediately implemented the <br /> Amendments after the election putting the exemptions into effect for the <br /> 2013 tax season and 4 more counties, thus far, for 2014. <br /> It also shows the level at which the 56 counties offer the low-income senior <br /> exemption are offered, generally the $25,000 or $50,000 level exemptions. <br /> Questions: <br /> 1. FFA GUFiOUS Why is this ameAdMeAt being added 19 Chapt9F 213 the GFaAAy Fiat <br /> Answered by Memo of 4/30/2013 Ordinance Reorganizing Chapter 213 <br /> But, if you are including 197.075(2)(a) as 213.09 the exemption could be change to$50,000. <br /> 2. You had the option of granting either or both of the additional exemptions. <br /> This opportunity allow you to increase the Senior exemption to$50,000. <br /> The Constitution reads"not exceeding fifty thousand dollars". <br /> The Statute reads"Fifty-thousand dollars". <br /> The final Senate Bill 1830, that the Governor signed 5/30/2013, reads "up to$50,000". <br /> Which takes precedent? I guess the Bill? <br /> 3. How and why was this Ordinance modified from the FL Constitution and Statute 196.075(2)(b) to <br /> say "$25,000" instead of"equal to the assessed value of the property" ? <br /> The Constitution Article VII section 6 reads: <br /> "An exemption equal to the assessed value of the property" <br /> The Statute Title XIV Taxation and Finance Chapter 196.075(2)(b) reads: <br /> "The amount of the assessed value of the property" <br /> The 5/30/2013 Senate Bill 1830 reads "The amount of the assessed value of the property". <br /> 4. How and why was this Ordinance modified from the FL Constitution, Statute 196.075(2)(b) <br /> and Senate Siff 1830 to say "has maintained his or her residence on the property for at least 25 <br /> years" <br /> instead of the Constitutions, Statute 196.075(2)(b)and Senate Bill 1830 readings: <br /> "has maintained thereon the permanent residence of the owner for at least 25 years" <br /> 5. What about Amendments#2 and#9 ? <br /> #2 Veterans Disabled Due to Combat injury; Homestead Property Tax Discount <br /> Removed the requirement that a veteran had to have entered the service from the <br /> State of Florida. <br /> #9 Homestead Property Tax Exemption for Surviving Spouse of Military Veteran or <br /> or First Responder killed in action. Fallen Heroes Family Tax Relief Act <br /> 1 haven't seen any mention of them in your agenda's <br /> When might they come up for review? Or are they not require commissioner approval ? <br /> 114. 7 <br />
