    *Assessed Value is the market value of your property minus any assessment reductions. The assess ed value may be different f or levies made by different tax ing authorities.

    **Taxable Value is the value used to calculate the t ax due on your property. Taxable value is the assessed value minus the va lue of your ex emptions.

    ASSESSMENT REDUCTIONS APPLIES TO VALUE

    Properties can receive an assessment reduction for a number of reasons.There are limits on how much the assessment of your property can increaseeach year. For example, the Sav e Our Homes program and the limitation fornon-homestead property are t wo types of reductions. Cert ain types of property, such as agricultural land and land used for conservation, arevalued on their current use rather than market v alue. Some reductionslower the assessed value only f or levies of certain tax ing authorities. If your assessed value is lower than y our market v alue because limits onincreases apply to y our property or because your property is va lued basedon its current use, the amount of the difference and the reason for thedifference are listed in the Assessment Reduction section above.

    EXEMPTIONS APPLIES TO VALUE

    Any exemption that applies to your property is listed in this section alongwith its corresponding exemption value. Specific dollar or percentagereductions in assessed value may be applicable to a property based uponcertain qualifications of the property owner. In some cases, an exemptionsvalue may vary depending on the taxing authority. The tax impact of anexemption may also vary f or the same taxing authority, depending on thelevy (e. g., operating millage vs. debt service millage.)

    You may f ile a petition for an adjustment with the Value Adjustment Board. It is not mandatory to contact the Property Appraiser prior to doing so.

    UNDERSTA NDING YOUR NOTICE OF PROPOSED PROPERTY TAXES

    In 2009, the Florida Legislature substantially revised the requirements for t he Notice of Proposed Property Taxes. Onemajor change you will notice is that the Tax Information portion is separated f rom the Property Valuation portion. For

    additional information please v isit our website at www.leepa.org.

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    Homestead Exempt ion and Save Our Homes 10% Non-Homestead Limitat ion

    Homestead Exemption is a constitutional benefit thatexempts up to $50,000 from the assessed va lue of yourproperty. A fter the base year of the qualified

    Homestead Exemption application, the as sessed v aluecannot increase more than 3% per year because of the Save Our Homes (SOH) benefit. This constitutionalbenefit that Mr. Wilkinson authored in 1992 was enactedto prevent homestead property owners from being taxedout of their homes in the face of a rapidly increasingmarket. For property with Homestead Ex emption, SOHlimits or caps the increases to your assessed value (notyour taxes ). That capped value is the SOH assessedvalue. From the SOH assessed v alue, exemptions aresubtracted to arrive at the taxable value.

    Enacted as a part of Amendment 1 in 2008, a 10%assessment increase limitation applies to eligible non-homestead property that did not change ownership

    or control in the previous year. This limitation has thesame premise as the Save Our Homes assessmentreduction. Once a base y ear is established (2008 isthe base year or the year the property waspurchased thereafter) the assessed value of theproperty cannot increase more than 10%. Any newconstruction or improvements to the property t hatwere not previously assessed, will be added to the

    limitation amount and will be included the followingyear. There is no application necessary to receivethe 10% Non-Homestead Limitation.

    What is Recapture?

    If your market value decreased and y our assessed va lue increased without any new construction, y ou may be feelingthe eff ects of Recapture. Recapture means that any property t hat has an assessed v alue less than market value,shall be increased. For Homestead properties: The Recapture Rule requires Property Appraisers to raise theassessed va lue by the maximum of 3% or the annual Consumer Price Index (C.P. I.) change, whichever is less, a slong as the ass essed value is lower than market value in any given year. For Non-Homestead properties: FloridaStatute 193.1555(3) states Property subject to the 10% cap shall be reassessed annually with the increase in

    assessment not to exceed 10%. This increase should occur whether or not the just v alue increases, as long asassessed value does not exceed just value (regardless of the C.P.I.).

    Additional Homestead Exemption Seniors Exemption

    If you currently re ceive a homestead exemption and your

    property v alue exceeds $50, 000, y ou will automatically receivethe additional homestead exemption. No application or otheraction is necessary to receive t his benefit. Effective January 1,2008, the additional exemption of up to $25,000 will apply to alllevies except those by school districts and other assessmentsfor special benefits. This additional exemption of $25,000applies to assessed values between $50,000 and $75, 000. If your property v alue is less than $75,000, the exemptionamount will be less than $25,000.

    All Lee County residents who are 65 or older

    (as of January 1st ) who qualify f or andreceive the homestead ex emption and whose2009 annual gross adjusted household incomedoes not exceed $25, 873, are e ligible toreceive the exemption. A lthough you mustmake an initial application (January 1st -March 1st), an annual re-application is notrequired as long as your income does notexceed the annually adjusted limitation.

    Portability Agricultural Classification

    Portability means that y ou can transf er some or all of y our previous home's "Save O ur Homes"benefit to y our new home in an amount up to $500,000. The "Save Our Homes" benefit is thedifference between the asse ssed value and market value of a homestead property.

    An Agricultural Classification is the designation of land by the Property Appraiser pursuant to F.S. 193. 461. The assessment is based on anagricultural use v alue. HOW DO I QUALIFY? To qualify for AgriculturalClassification, a return must be f iled with the Property Appraiser betweenJanuary 1st and March 1st of t he tax y ear. Only lands which are used for bonafide agricultural purposes shall be classified agricultural. Bona fide agriculturalpurposes means good faith commercial agricultural use of the land. TheProperty Appraiser, prior to classifying such lands, may require the taxpay er orthe tax payers representative to furnish such information as may reasonablybe required to esta blish such lands are actually used for a bona fide agriculturalpurpose. For more information please contact our Agricultural Department at(239) 533-6172.

    What if I do not agree with my Values?

    If you believe that y our assessment does not represent the f air market value of the property ,you may file a petition with the Clerk of Court f or a hearing before the Value Adjustment Board(V.A.B.). This Board is created by Sta te Law and is comprised of five members. The Boardappoints Special Magistrates who are qualified appraisers or attorney s, independent of theProperty Appraisers Off ice, to conduct valuation hearings. The Special Magistrates areappointed only to determine whether t he appraised value of the property is fair market valueas of J anuary 1st. Petitions to the Board and further details concerning this process can beobtained by visiting the Property Appraisers Off ice or our website at www.leepa.org. Pet itionsmust be received (not merely postmarked) by the C lerk of Court before the date that appearson the T. R.I.M. Notice. The petition must be accompanied with a $15.00 per parcel f iling fee.Submission with the petition of all requested information ensures proper review of yourrequest. MAKING A CA SE: You can prevail at V.A. B. by present ing evidence and testimonythat your propertys assesse d value is not market value. The fact t hat your assessed v alueincreased or decreased from last yea r is not a basis to alter this years assessment.

    Problems common to the neighborhood are already considered in the sales of properties sold. Also, you cannot base your case on personal hardship, such asliving on a f ixed income or an inability t o pay t axes. You may, however, beeligible for the Tax Deferral Plan or Installment Payments off ered through theTax Collectors Office. Information regarding these plans is available at the TaxCollectors website (www.leetc.com). THE V.A.B. HEARING: Value AdjustmentBoard hearings begin in the f all. While an attorney is not required, one mayrepresent you. Both the Property Appraiser and Taxpayer present evidenceand testimony t o a Special Magistrate. A fter the Special Magistrate hearing,the V.A. B. will notify y ou in writing of their decision. If you accept the decision,do nothing further. If you disagree with the V.A. B. decision, you may file aCircuit Court civil action pursuant to Florida Statute 194.171. Additionalinformation can be obtained from our office, or you may contact the LeeCounty C lerk of Courts Off ice at (239) 533-2328 regarding the filing process.

    Presseschau zu WikiLeaks

    "Massenvernichtungswaffe gegen das Vertrauen"

    Die Kom m entatoren der deutschen T ageszeitungen sehen durch die Verffentlichu ngT ausender diplomatischer Dokum ente v or allem die US-Auenpolitik beschdigt. Aber auch

    WikiLeaks wird kritisiert: Die Motiv e fr die Enth llungen seien wenig transparent. Zudem werde Vertrauen v ernichtet.

    Dazu heit es in der"Sddeutschen Zeitung" : "Nach der V erffentlichung der gesto hlenen Depeschen, Analysen, Handlungsanweisungen und Kommentare drngt sich nun die Frage auf, wie lange die USA noch Frchte ihres diplomatischen Dienstes genieen knnen. Die v on der Internet-Organisation Wikileaks verbreitete Beute eines Datendiebes zerstrt nmlich das Bindegewebe, das die unter Staaten betriebeneKommunikation ausmacht: die Vertraulichkeit. Ohne Vertraulichkeit keine Information, kein Geben undNehmen, kein Zugang. Ohne Information aber auch keine Kenntnis, keine Urteilskraft, keine richtigen

    Entscheidungen. Wikileaks hat sich als Massenvernichtungswaffe fr das letzte Quntchen V ertrauenerwiesen."

    "An den neuen Enthllungen ist wenig sensationell", findet die"Mitteldeutsch e Zeitung" : "Zumal die Aufgabe jedes diplomatischen Dienstes vo r allem darin besteht, die Heimatregierung mit zutreffenden undungeschminkten Einsichten ber die jeweiligen Gastlnder zu v ersorgen. Dennoch sind alle Beteiligten blogestellt. Und das wird allen Beteuerungen zum Trotz Einfluss haben auf die knftigen Beziehungen. DieUSA haben ihr Gesicht verloren, weil sie das erste Gebot diplomatischer Arbeit gebrochen haben: DiskretioDieses Vertrauen wieder herzustellen, wird schwer sein. A nders als die Berichte von Wikileaks berKriegsverbrechen oder Folter ntzen diese Enthllungen deshalb niemandem."

    "Lunte ans Pulverfass legen"

    "Eine riesige Blamage fr die amerikanische Diplomatie sind nicht die Inhalte", betont die"Neue Westflische" , "sondern die Tatsache, dass sie an die ffentlichkeit gelangt sind. Mit wie viel kindlichemGlauben an Vorschriftenhrigkeit, Wohlverhalten und Verschlsselungstechnik muss man ausgestattet sein, wenn man im Jahr 201 0 glaubt, ber das Internet verbre itete Daten geheim halten zu knnen? Muss man dasState Department fr so ausgesprochen tumb halten? Man muss wohl, und das ist der eigentliche Skandal."

    Die "Landeszeitung" aus Lneburg sieht es hnlich: "Die tiefen Einblicke in die Welt hinter der US-diplomatischen Fassade sind fr westliche Gemter eher harmlos. Peinlich ist der Umgang mit Daten in den

    USA selbst. Wenn hunderttausende Mitarbeiter in US-Behrden Zugriff auf die Daten in internen Netzenhaben, muss man sich darber wundern, dass es nicht schon vo rher Lecks gegeben hat. Der vermeintlicheSpa ber Wikileaks-Enthllungen endet aber dort, wo Aussagen verffentlicht werden von US-Diplomaten wonach einige arabische Herrscher nichts gegen eine Militrintervention der USA zur Zerstrung desiranischen Atompro grammes htten. Denn so wird fahrlssig Lunte ans Pulverfass Nahost gelegt."

    "Vertrauen wird zerstrt"

    Die Zeitung"Die Welt" kritisiert: "Was Wikileaks nun zerstrt hat, ist die Freiheit des ve rtraulichendiplomatischen Gesprchs. Denn was fr Privatpersonen gilt, gilt auch fr den V erkehr zwischen Staaten:Offenheit im beiderseitigen Umgang ist nur mglich, wenn man darauf vertrauen kann, dass das Gesagte nichmorgen in der ganzen Welt nachlesbar ist. Und noch etwas so llte zu denken geben: Bisher gingen Wikileaks-Enthllungen fast ausschlielich zu Lasten von demokratischen Staaten, die ohnehin ein v ergleichsweisehohes Ma an Transparenz aufweisen. Die inneren Vorgnge der echten sc hwarzen Lcher dieser Erde -Diktaturen wie I ran und Nordkorea - hat Wikileaks aber b isher nicht ans Licht der ffentlichkeit gezerr t. DieFreiheitsfeinde sind es aber, die die 250 .000 US-Depeschen am akribischsten studieren und den grtenNutzen daraus ziehen werden."

    Auch der "Weser-Kurier" kann den Enthllungen nichts abgewinnen: "Die Motiv e v on Julian Assange undseinen Mitstreitern sind lngst nicht v on der Transparenz, fr die sie angeblich kmpfen. Zumindest fllt aufdass sie ihre beeindruckenden Fhigkeiten nahezu ausschlielich dazu e insetzen, die US-Regierung zuschwchen. Nun muss man mit einer Supermacht kein Mitleid haben, die durc h eigene Unfhigkeit verwundbar geworden ist. Aber die Frage ist erlaubt, wem eine so v orgefhrte und geschwchte US-Regierntzt - und ob uns das nicht am Ende sehr schadet."

    "Wenig originell"

    "Warum die Aufregung?", fragt die"Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" mit Blick auf die deutsc he Politik und fhrt weiter aus: "Was Wikileaks aus amerikanischen Archiven ins Internet gepumpt hat, pfeifen, so es ddeutsche Politik angeht, in Berlin die Spatzen vo m Dach. Die Beschreibungen deutscher Politiker in denangeblichen Botschaftsberichten sind, was fr ihre Authentizitt spricht, wenig originell. 'Mutti' risikoscheu Westerwelle kein Auenpolitiker: derartige Befunde hat man schon aus v ielen ranghohen Mndern und mitmancher Ergnzung gehr t. So schreibt nicht nur die amerikanische Diplomatie ber deutschesFhrungspersonal - so denkt und spricht deutsches Fhrungspersonal bereinander."

    "Es ist wunderbar, dass wir diese A kten lesen knnen", schwrmt die"Frankfurter Run dschau " . "Sie zeigenuns, wie menschlich-allzumenschlich es auch in der Diplomatie zugeht. Dieser FDP-Mann zum Beispiel, derden Koalitionsverhandlungen sitzt und sein Protokoll gleich der US-Botschaft weitergibt - das hat doch etw

    Rhrendes. Nur von ihm mchte ich nicht hren, dass Wikileaks eine Ruberbande ist. Wenn Wikileaks so weitermacht, wird die Internetplattform nicht nur den Regierenden das Regieren erschweren, sondern auchuns das Regiertwerden. Wir Brger werden immer weniger uns darauf hinausreden knnen, wir htten nichtsgewusst. Wir werden genau wissen, und wir werden darum auch v iel strker einbezogen werden in das, wasgetan werden muss. Das Leben wird unbequemer werden. Wir werden uns fter engagieren mssen. Es gilt wieder: Mehr Demokratie wagen!"
