City of Lake Helen adopted new Non Ad Valorem Assessment (NAVA) for Fire Services The City of Lake Helen adopted Resolution 2015-15 to allow for the uniform method of collection for fire services. Last year they opted out of the Volusia County Fire District and were too late to put the Non Ad Valorem Assessment on the tax roll for 2015. Therefore, the new fire fee will be added to the 2016 roll, broken down into 3 categories, as shown below. 1) Lake Helen Residential Fire (auth # 0133) 2) Lake Helen Non-Residential Fire (auth # 0134) 3) Lake Helen Vacant Fire (auth # 0135) City of Deltona adopted 2 new Non Ad Valorem Assessments (NAVAs) for streetlighting City of Deltona has added 2 new streetlighting districts to the 2016 NAVA roll.

EXPLANATION OF COLUMNS Column 1: Your property taxes last year Column 1 on the Notice of Proposed Property Tax notice represents the taxes that applied to the property last year. These amounts were based on budgets adopted last year (2015) and the property s previous (2015) taxable value. Also listed are your previous (2015) taxable value and last year s (2015) millage rate for each taxing authority. The total shown in this column does not include the non-ad valorem assessments (for ex: Street Lighting Districts, Stormwater Fees, Solid Waste Fees, etc.). Therefore, on property that has non ad-valorem assessments, the amount shown in this column, will appear to be less than what was on the previous year s (2015) final tax notice. This total also represents the prior year (2015) gross tax amount (less all non-ad valorem assessments as described above). The discounts for early payment that may have been received are not reflected on this notice. Column 2: Your taxes this year if no budget change is made Column 2 on the Notice of Proposed Property Tax notice represents the taxes this year (2016) if each taxing authority does not increase its property tax levy. These amounts are based on last year s (2015) budgets and your current (2016) taxable value. The difference between columns 2 and 3 is the tax change proposed by each local taxing authority and is NOT the result of higher assessments. This column is usually referred to as the Rolled-Back Rate. This column displays your current (2016) taxable value and the current (2016) Rolled-Back Millage Rate. Column 3: Your taxes this year if proposed budget change is made Column 3 on the Notice of Proposed Property Tax notice represents what the taxes will be this year (2016) under the budget actually proposed by each local taxing authority and the current (2016) taxable value of your property. This column also lists the proposed (2016) millage rate. The proposal is NOT final and may be amended at the public hearings listed on the Notice of Proposed Property Tax notice, and also shown in this Informational Guide under the Public Hearing Information section. The total shown in this column does not include the Non-Ad Valorem Assessments (NAVAs). The non-ad valorem assessments are listed directly below the columns with a grand total for the proposed tax and non-ad valorem assessment in the bottom right corner of the Notice of Proposed Property Tax notice. The discounts for early payment the property owner may be eligible to receive are not reflected on this notice. 17

COMMON PROBLEM AREAS 1. Property taxes LAST year column does not compute properly: Exemption status has changed since last year, addition or deletion of a personal or agricultural exemption. A correction to the tax roll may have occurred. The notice uses the most current 2015 value and tax amount, not necessarily that which was printed on the original roll. 2. Property taxes THIS year indicate a dramatic increase or decrease: Exemption status has changed since last year, addition or deletion of a personal or agricultural exemption. Property could have sold last year and values have been adjusted back to Just Value for current year. Parcel may have been split from or combined with another parcel on the tax roll. Property has been reassessed to correctly reflect the market value. Individual taxing authorities have increased their millage rates. Property may have been annexed into a city, which may have a higher or lower millage rate.

Daytona Beach then proceeded to annex all the adjacent territory including the Town of Blake. Because of new taxes and appraisals levied, residents of Blake were forced to hire an attorney and eventually, about 1938, succeeded in breaking away from Daytona Beach to become the incorporated Town of South Daytona. The Town continued to grow and was incorporated as the City of South Daytona in 1951. Contact Phone: (386) 322-3000 - Website: www.southdaytona.org 34

HOSPITAL AUTHORITIES Halifax Hospital 0100 Halifax District Hospital opened its doors to the community on January 3, 1928. Founded by the state legislature, the hospital began operations with 125 licensed beds. During World War II, the hospital became a convalescent facility. In 1947, it was remodeled and returned to the community as an acute care general hospital. In 1985, the hospital was designated as the area's only Level II Trauma Center and changed its name to Halifax Medical Center. In 2007, after many additional services were added, Halifax Medical Center became Halifax Community Health System, and recently simplified the name to Halifax Health. Halifax Health is the area's largest healthcare provider with a tertiary and community hospital with 678 licensed beds, more than 500 physicians on its medical staff representing 46 medical specialties.

The Property Appraiser shall provide the petitioner with such determination upon request by the petitioner. The petitioner must obtain the determination from the Property Appraiser prior to filing the petition and must file the determination provided and completed by the Property Appraiser with the petition. An incorporated attached list of parcels by parcel number or account 56

number, with an indication on the petition form showing a joint petition, shall be sufficient to signify a joint petition. 3. Appealing a Denial of Homestead, Other Exemptions, or Tax Deferral No Filing Fee. 4. Untimely Filing of Homestead or other Exemption or Agricultural Classifications due to the taxpayer s failure to file the appropriate forms with the Property Appraiser s Office prior to the statutory deadline of March 1 of the applicable tax year. - $15.00 per parcel. Who Hears the Petitions? Hearings are conducted by Special Magistrates who are appointed by the Board members of the VAB. Special Magistrates are qualified to hear the issues involved in these cases because of their training and professional credentials. They do NOT work for the Property Appraiser. All hearings are quasi-judicial, and everyone appearing before the Special Magistrate is required to testify under oath. After hearing the evidence presented by the petitioner and the Property Appraiser, the Special Magistrate will make a recommendation to the VAB Attorney, who, after checking all petitions for correctness, will present the findings to the members of the Board. The Board will then act upon the Special Magistrates recommendations without further notice or hearing. When are the Hearings Held? Hearings generally begin in early October and will continue until each petitioner has been heard, usually through January depending on the number of petitions received. A notice advising the taxpayer of the scheduled hearing date and time will be mailed to them 25 days in advance. Should the Taxpayer Wait to Pay their Taxes Until After the Board s Decision? No, it is in your best interest to pay your taxes immediately, as the 2011 Legislature enacted Chapter 2011-181, Laws of Florida, effective July 1, 2011, and shall apply to petitions filed with the Value Adjustment Board on or after July 1, 2011 (HB 281). Section 1 creates Section 194.014, Florida Statutes, requiring the denial of a petition by the Value Adjustment Board if a petitioner does not pay a certain amount of taxes due before those taxes become delinquent. Section 3 amends Section 197.162, Florida Statutes, to allow a 4% discount for 30 days after the mailing of a tax notice resulting for the action of a Value Adjustment Board when a corrected tax notice is issued before the taxes become delinquent. 57

SENIOR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION Senior Homestead Exemption The 1999 Legislature enacted Chapter 99-341, Laws of Florida, effective July 1, 1999. This new legislation creates section 196.075, Florida Statutes. The law allows both counties and municipalities, through adoption of an ordinance, to each grant an additional homestead tax exemption of up to $25,000* to resident homeowners who have legal or equitable title to the real estate, who are at least 65 years of age on January 1 of the year for which the application for exemption is made and whose annual income for the prior year does not exceed $20,000**. The law defines the terms household and household income and provides for a cost-of-living increase for the income limitation beginning January 1, 2001. * The 2007 Legislature enacted Chapter 2007-4, Laws of Florida, effective April 9, 2007, and retroactive to January 1, 2007 (See HB 333.). This law implements HJR 353, the joint resolution, approved by the voters in the November 2006 general election, which created an amendment to section 6 of Article VII of the State Constitution, relating to the optional additional homestead exemption for persons 65 and older. In summary, this new law increases the additional exemption for low income seniors that cities and counties may grant from a maximum of $25,000 to a maximum of $50,000. **The current (2016) adjusted income limitation = $28,448.
