Joseph Wanick,
City Attorney
DATE: January 17, 1979
FROM: Gavin W. O'Brien, r~ WD
City Manager ~
SUBJECT: SURPLUS PROPERTY DEEDED TO THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH
FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
I
Now that the deed for the subject property has been
executed and is in the process of being recorded, it
occurred to me that the city should make every attempt
to protect itself from an adverse action by the Dade
County Property Appraiser.
On January 1, 1979, the property was still under Federal
ownership and therefore exempt from the 1979 Tax Roll.
The 1980 Tax Roll will present the first opportunity for
Al Blake to put this property on the tax roll.
While portions of the property are presently leased for
various public purposes, it is possible that on January 1,
1980, other portions will not continue in current uses and
will not be developed for parks and recreation purposes.
Based upon the sort of logic, or absence of logic, which is
used by the County in interpreting Florida statutes pertinent
to this subject, there is some risk that the property will
be placed on the 1980 Tax Roll.
I am therefore requesting that any fonns or official
requests for tax exempt status which need to be filed be
prepared by your office and submitted to the Dade County
Property Appraiser.
