LEGISLATURE TO ENACT SENATE BILL 172, WHICH SEEKS TO

DADE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, THE
SPEAKER OF THE FLORIDA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, AND
THE PRESIDENT OF THE FLORIDA SENATE.
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach recognizes the invaluable service and
sacrifices made by veterans in defense of our nation; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 172 ("SB 172") has been filed for consideration during
the Florida Legislature's 2024 session by Senators Tina Polsky and Rosalind Osgood;
and
WHEREAS, SB 172 seeks to create a verification of eligibility for the homestead
exemption for certain disabled veterans, which would enhance the home buying
capabilities of Florida's disabled veterans; and
WHEREAS, the current system creates a timing issue for disabled veterans, as
they are required to apply for an real estate tax exemption only after taking ownership of
their homes, causing temporary financial challenges during the mortgage underwriting
process; and
WHEREAS, SB 172 seeks to rectify this issue by allowing certain disabled
veterans to apply for their exemption after entering into a contract to purchase a home,
ensuring approval subject to home ownership, thereby eliminating unnecessary hurdles
during the mortgage qualification process; and
WHEREAS, this adjustment enables disabled veterans to access the benefits
they have rightfully earned precisely when they need them most, facilitating their
journey to homeownership without imposing any additional financial burdens on the
State of Florida; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission strongly endorse and support
Senate Bill 172, which aims to streamline the real estate tax exemption process for
disabled veterans in Florida.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
Commission hereby urge the Florida Legislature to enact Senate Bill 172, which seeks
to create a verification of eligibility for the homestead exemption for certain disabled
veterans, which would enhance the home buying capabilities of Florida's disabled
veterans by adjusting the process for real estate tax exemptions; and direct the City
Clerk to send a copy of this Resolution to the members of the Miami -Dade County
Board of County Commissioners, the Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives,
and the President of the Florida Senate.
