Florida 2009 Legislative
Proposals
It’s that
time again.
With the current economy,
budget shortfalls, etc, this
session promises to be busy and
intense.
We reviewed the Senate
(flsenate.gov) and House
(myfloridahouse.gov) websites
and found no pre-filed bills to
date which appear to directly
affect agricultural property or
the
Greenbelt
classification.
We
found 4 Agriculture shell (no
details other than intent)
bills, 1 DOACS shell bill, and 2
property tax shell bills.
Several additional pre-filed bills
address property taxes,
including:
Homestead Exemption
limitations, property
inspections, confidential
information, presumption of
correctness/burden of proof,
working waterfronts, extenuating
circumstances, appraisal
criteria, deed restricted
properties, market rent, etc.,
plus a joint resolution for a
constitutional amendment
limiting the aggregate ad
valorem tax (millage).
The bills (1/28/2009)
are:
S1006, S358, SJR738,
S304, S464, H179, H521, H101,
H105, and H385.
