Florida’s local governments face new requirements if they want to raise taxes
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – June 9, 2008 – Contrary to popular opinion, city and county governments cannot easily raise tax rates to make up for any income deficit created by January’s passage of Amendment 1. A local tax increase now requires approval by a super-majority of officials, and it must be called a “tax increase” if considered.
The Florida Association of Realtors® (FAR) lobbied for this change during the 2008 session of the Florida Legislature, considering it an important component of the property tax relief offered by Amendment 1, which voters passed on Jan. 29, 2008. The language is included in SB 1588.
Following discussions during the session, the Florida House added provisions to the amendment that would make it more difficult for local governments to raise taxes either overtly or covertly. However, it was unclear whether the Senate would then sign off on those changes, though senators did reach agreement in the final hours of the session.
A few aspects of Amendment 1 must still be clarified. Once Gov. Crist signs the bill – as he is expected to do – additional rules will be analyzed and created. It’s still unclear, for example, how property tax portability will work in cases of divorce or marriage.
Tax increase changes
Under the old rules, a city or county government could raise tax rates with a simple majority vote. Under the new rules, two-thirds of commissioners must approve the tax increase. In addition, it must be called a “tax increase” so voters understand the issue. In the past, some local governments could use creative wording, perhaps something like a “recapture,” to hide the actual topic.
The average homeowner in Florida should save about $240 on their 2008 tax bill and many local governments are cutting expenses. A few, however, have considered some kind of tax increase to make up the difference. Under SB 1588, though, it will be more difficult.
“This was a big loophole, and people really got angry over it,” says Charlotte Greenbarg, president of a Broward Coalition that represents area homeowner and condo associations. “I have no doubt some cities would have (raised taxes) if they could do it quietly and try to say it’s not a tax increase.”
“The voters believed they did one thing, and there shouldn’t be a crack in the dam to negate their action,” says state Rep. Ellyn Bogdanoff. “It’s not horrible to ask them to get a super-majority.”

The Lehigh Acres Lot Owners Association will post a no trespassing sign on your lot…just ask!
NO TRESPASSING SIGN MAY ALSO DETER DUMPING
We have been asked by several members if this association would be interested in putting “No Trespassing” signs on vacant property due the numerous inquiries in regard to Notice of Code of Violations being mailed to lot owners from the county.
We asked our attorney if he thought there would be a benefit to lot owners to install a “No Trespassing” sign on their property and his response is below:
“Sometimes refrigerators, air conditioning units, or construction debris -even old cars- are abandoned on vacant lands. Out of state owners of vacant lots usually find out that trash has been dumped on their land when they are contacted by local code enforcement officers who have received a complaint from an irate neighbor.
The county may institute code enforcement action against an owner who fails to remove the unsightly items. Fines and penalties may be levied against those who ignore the proceedings.
What can you do to deter dumping? One solution is to put up a “No Trespassing” sign.
Florida courts have held that posting is a valid device for preventing the uninvited from trespassing on private property. Dumping trash on posted land is evidence of a trespass.
But when you live thousands of miles away from your land such a relatively simple task is not so easily accomplished. Here’s a solution. Contact your Association and ask that it post a conspicuous “No Trespassing” sign on your property. For a nominal charge, the Association will take care of that matter for you.
The Association already provides its members with a policy of insurance that protects against liability from persons who may be injured on your land. Why not take the extra step of posting a “No Trespassing” sign? It may be just the deterrence that is needed to keep the uninvited off your land and to discourage dumping.
Law enforcement officers may arrest someone who is trespassing on posted land. The penalty is punishable as a third degree felony”.
Due to the anticipated volume, we can do this for only $75.00 per lot. If you have more than one lot together, we could install the sign between them for the same price. If the lots are not together there would be an additional charge of $75.00 per lot. We will mail you a photograph of the sign on your lot(s) as proof of installation or we can e-mail you a photograph, whichever you prefer.
If you are interested in having a “No Trespassing” sign placed on your property, please contact our office at 1-800-376-9045, or e-mail our office at laloa@cfl.rr.com or fax our office at 1-386-424-0159 with a credit card number. If you would like to order this service with a check, please make payable to L.A.LO.A. Inc. and mail it to: L.A.L.O.A., P.O. Box 1590, New Smyrna Beach, FL 32170.
