    Homestead Exemption in Sarasota County Florida –Part 3   Q:  How do you assess new additions to previously Homesteaded properties? A:  We generally use what is called "The Cost Approach" (i.e., the South Florida fair market replacement construction cost -- on a square foot basis -- for an addition of the same quality). For example, if the fair market construction cost of your addition is $100,000, you would see no more than $100,000 added to your pre-existing Save Our Homes value. In the future, the combination of your pre-existing Save Our Homes value plus the cost-basis value of the addition would be your new Save Our Homes base value (subject to the 3% increase cap).   Q:  My market value dropped, so why did my assessment go up? A: Under Section 193.155, Florida Statutes is the h...

“Man’s Best Friend” When my husband and I were grocery shopping at Wal-Mart, we met this woman and her best friend - service dogs. I got permission from her to take their photograph and share with you. Her best friends are dogs serving their owner.     Many service dogs are highly trained to meet the needs of the people they serve, and add value to the life of their owners, helping them gain freedom and independence. Service dogs are also known as assistance dogs. There are three kinds of dog’s services: Guide dogs for the blind and visually impaired. Hearing dogs for the deaf and hard of hearing. Mobility assistance dogs for people with disabilities to help in everyday tasks other than those related to vision or hearing.
