Great information from PCPA! Also don’t DIY that deed back, ensure you look at all options before committing to a fix.

Thinking of transferring your homesteaded property into a LLC? While a LLC may provide some liability protection it won’t protect your property’s assessment cap from resetting to Just/Market Value. Transferring your property to or from an LLC is considered a change of ownership for property tax purposes under state law, causing a removal of any existing assessment cap on the property and a higher property tax bill the following tax year.

If you’ve already done so this year, you can quitclaim the property back before year end to prevent this from happening in the new year. As always, contact our office at (727) 464-3207 with any questions.

🔔PSA from the early morning foreclosure docket: deeding your home to a home saving, equity or foreclosure “program” one day before your lender’s final hearing does not save the home. No legitimate program with your best interest in mind would have you do this. Instead these “programs” file what are often frivolous documents, increasing the lender’s attorney’s fees, while you remain liable for the full loan, your credit history is negatively impacted, and you no longer hold the deed your home.

Also, even worse, 50+ people watch you have this realization in real time during court.

Why do we read commercial leases line-by-line and top to bottom? To catch things like this! Yes, cases can be appealed over a comma, and punctuation is apparently very important in a Florida lease.
