What is Save Our HomesIn 1992 voters approved an amendment to the Florida Constitution known as Amendment 10, or Save Our Homes (SOH). SOH is an assessment limitation, or “cap”, on increases in the assessed value of a homestead residence. Those increases are limited to 3% or the percent change in the CPI (Consumer Price Index), whichever is less. The “cap” goes into effect beginning the year after a homestead exemption is granted.Prior to SOH, taxable value, upon which taxes were calculated, was equal to market value less Homestead exemption. When the market value increased, so would taxable value and therefore, taxes. The SOH law prohibits this from happening – allowing for the maximum 3% “cap” to protect assessed value, regardless of how high market values may increase. This prevents owners from being taxed out of their homes when the market is escalating.A SOH benefit stays on a Homestead property, providing there are no ownership changes or property improvements. This can provide significant tax savings over time, especially when the market is increasing, as was seen during the real estate boom of 2004 – 2007. The table below illustrates how significant the tax savings can be with SOH. Let’s assume a home was purchased for $125,000, it qualified for Homestead exemption and the Property Appraiser valued the property at $110,000 for the first year.If property sales in the neighborhood indicate an increase of 15% per year in the market value, the tax benefits due directly to SOH can be seen in the last column. Assuming a tax rate of $20/$1000 of taxable value, the tax savings over 5 years would be $3,153.12. That is a significant savings! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  A veteran who became ensnared in a dispute with a local homeowners' association over a patriotic mailbox wrap says the display will get to stay. Retired U.S. Navy Officer John Ackert says the Southwood Residential Community Association is changing its rules and will now allow American flag wraps on mailboxes in the Southwood neighborhood. Ackert says he was informed of the news on Monday and that the rule change is already in effect. The decision came after Ackert received a letter stating that his flag mailbox cover violated HOA rules and would have to be removed. Ackert wrote an appeal and the SCRA held a meeting to review the rules before ultimately deciding on the change.  So Just be cautious prior to moving in… Your Realtor cannot change the restrictive covenants….and even if you read it one way .. like literally, they can still sue you… js. What is LRV? What is Light Reflectance Value?Understanding LRV is crucial when choosing color for the built environment, interior and exterior.  LRV – You may have noticed these three letters on manufacturer’s color specifications, on the back of paint swatches or noticed an entire column dedicated on precious few square inches of space available in the index of paint fan decks. What do those letters stand for? What does the LRV number mean and how is it used? It is rather simple. Paying attention to a color’s LRV can prevent poor color/paint color selections by helping you determine and evaluate certain color characteristics.Keywords: LRV, Light Reflectance Value, brightness, lightness, visual ergonomicsINTRODUCTION LRV is the acronym for Light Reflectance Value. As mentioned, LRV is on the back of most color swatches and in the index of all major brands’ fandecks. Value is often confused with the term intensity. Intensity is about vividness or dullness – is the color clear or muted. Value is an important term used in color and it speaks strictly to the lightness or darkness of a color.What is LRV Light Reflectance Value?Light Reflectance Value (LRV) is the total quantity of visible and useable light reflected by a surface in all directions and at all wavelengths when illuminated by a light source. (ref. British Standard BS 8300:2001/A1:2005)  LRV is a measurement that tells you how much light a color reflects, and conversely how much it absorbs. LRV runs on a scale from 0% to 100%. Zero assumed to be an absolute black and 100% being an assumed perfectly reflective white. An absolute black or perfectly reflecting white does not exist in our everyday terms. Approximately speaking, the average blackest black has an LRV of 5% and the whitest white 85%. Some yellows can measure up into the 80’s or 90’s as well.What are the precautions of LRV Light Reflectance Value of Paint Colors?It is true that LRV Light Reflectance Value communicates a lot about a potential wall color, possibly provides even more of a sense of the color than those very small color chips – and we all know the issues with relying on just the small color chips.LRV refers to the percentage of light reflected by the paint color regardless of how much light is present. The LRV number is a measurement, a piece of data and is one of the few things about a color that is a consistent factor. No matter from what direction the natural light enters a room, no matter what reflection of color you get from the other elements in the room, no matter what other conditions exist that will affect the context in which the wall color is experienced, the LRV is the GARNET & GOLD - This is where we review a local or not so local wine (garnet) beer/bourbon (gold)  Thanks for listening!

We talk restrictive covenants in Florida. Restrictive covenants, once agreed between the parties, are placed in the title deeds to the property. They bind the land and not the parties personally. In other words, the restrictive covenant 'runs with the land'. And although in some cases, you may not pay a home owner's association fee, you will still have to obey the covenants and restrictions. Some examples of covenant and restrictions are:Square footageFencingLandscapingCars in drivewayTrucks in drivewayWindow TreatmentsMail boxesNumber of people living in a houseShedsAnimals - domestic or livestockExterior colorsRoof shingles color and designEntertaining in a houseParking on a streetBoats, trailers and jet skisOfficeChurch servicesWe talk Garnet & Gold (wine & bourbon) and tons more!!Listen everyweek to the "fun side of real estate"Thanks!Patty Wilson Hosted on Acast.
