I could just cry. I did my homework after reviewing your website, documented why I was not able to respond to the homestead renewal card(was out of town,mail forwarded, card is not), cited Florida statutes in my letter, detail by detail on my living arrangements over the past year, never rented property, have valid Florida driver's license. Explained in detail about my property in PSL is my only residence, never rented, owned anywhere else in the US, have owned property since 1985, Homestead exemption since 1991, now have been denied 2007 homestead exemption and lost my cap. Taxes went from $450 to $3K. Still the Exemption approval manager wants to deny reinstating homestead for 2007. How can I come back with additional proof. Originally the CS in the tax appraiser's office after reviewing what I provided indicated that would be enough - 35 minutes later a phone call from this mgr saying no. Can you give me guidance. Would appreciate it. Linda |
