Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) is asking Palm Beach County to tax Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property at the rate the former president claims it is worth amid his ongoing civil fraud trial in New York, NBC News reports.
Wrote Moskowitz: “Between 2011 and 2021, you value the Mar-a-Lago property between $18 million and $28 million. Mar-a-Lago was listed as worth $490 million in financial documents given to banks. If the property value of Mar-a-Lago is so much higher than it was appraised, will you be amending the property value in line with the Trump family’s belief that the property is worth well over a billion dollars?”
They usually lag fmv by a few years in my experience. But I’ve never seen a case where they are 2500+% less than the value of the property.
Wait until you learn about ag exemptions.
There’s a 5-acre undeveloped property at a major interstate crossing in the city I work for that’s taxed at a $12,000 valuation, but is under contract for a $22,000,000 sale.
