AGENDA ITEM WORDING: A public hearing to consider an ordinance creating Sections 23-43
through 23-47 of the Monroe County Code, to provide a reduction in assessed value for construction
or reconstruction of homesteaded property completed after January 7, 2003 for the purpose of
providing living quarters for parents or grandparents of property owners, pursuant to F.S 193.703
and the 2002 amendment to the Florida Constitution known as the "Granny Flats" Amendment.
ITEM BACKGROUND: In 2002, Florida voters overwhelmingly approved an amendment to the
Florida Constitution providing for a reduction in assessed value for ad valorem taxation for the
portion of assessed value of homestead property attributable to construction or reconstruction of the
portion of the property being used as living quarters by parents or grandparents of the property
owner or owner's spouse (a/k/a the "Granny Flats" Amendment). As a result, in 2003, the Florida
legislature passed F.S. 193.703. The statute allows the local governing body to adopt an ordinance
providing for a reduction in the assessed value of homestead property equal to any increase in
assessed value of the property resulting from the construction or reconstruction of the property for
the purpose of providing living quarters for one or more parents or grandparents for whom the living
quarters are providing for who are at least 62 years of age, who reside on the property and do not
claim a homestead exemption in any other county or state.
The estimated fiscal impact is unknown. Twenty-nine counties have reported reductions based on a
local "Granny Flats" ordinance. Based on the results in those counties, the likely impact will be in
the range of $35K to $150K per year in reduced property value revenue although it is possible that
the reduction in revenue could approach $500K
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:

ORDINANCE NO. — 2016
AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO AD VALOREM TAXATION,
CREATING SECTIONS 23-43 THROUGH 23-47 OF THE MONROE
COUNTY CODE, PROVIDING FOR A REDUCTION IN ASSESSED
VALUE OF HOMESTEAD PROPERTY RESULTING FROM
CONSTRUCTION OR RECONSTRUCTION OF LIVING QUARTERS
FOR PARENTS OR GRANDPARENTS OF THE PROPERTY OWNER
OR OWNER'S SPOUSE IF AT LEAST ONE OF THE PARENTS OR
GRANDPARENTS FOR WHOM THE LIVING QUARTERS ARE
PROVIDED IS AT LEAST 62 YEARS OF AGE; REQUIRING DELIVERY
OF THE ORDINANCE TO PROPERTY APPRAISER AND TAX
COLLECTOR; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR
THE REPEAL OF ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING
FOR INCORPORATION INTO THE MONROE COUNTY CODE OF
ORDINANCES; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, on November 5, 2002, voters statewide overwhelmingly approved an
amendment to the Florida Constitution providing for a reduction in assessed value for ad valorem
taxation for qualifying portions of homestead property used as living quarters by parents or
grandparents; and
WHEREAS, this amendment, subsequently incorporated in Art. VII, § 4(e) of the
Florida Constitution, was approved to encourage Florida families to care for their elderly at
home rather than relying on institutions where care is often subsidized by state and federal tax
dollars; and
WHEREAS, the 2002 Legislature adopted HB 313 creating Section 193.703 of the
Florida Statutes providing applicable requirements and procedures for implementation of this
Constitutional Amendment as a county option; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners may adopt an ordinance to provide
for a reduction in the assessed value of homesteaded property equal to any increase in assessed
value of the property which results from the construction of reconstruction of the property for the
purpose of providing living quarters for one or more parents or grandparents for whom the living
quarters are providing for and they must be at least 62 years of age; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners finds that enactment of an ordinance
providing a tax reduction will encourage Monroe County property owners to care for their
parents and grandparents at home.

I am writing to you on behalf of my bass's request (Scott Russell, Monroe County Property Appraiser). This is in regards
to a benefit which may help residents of Monroe County. As you can see from past e-mails this has been inquired about
for some time now. I have put together a memo which outlines the basics of this classification (not exemption) which
starts with the passing of an Ordinance by the County.

So it doesn't took like we have adopted this. Also as a note, it cannot be tacked onto the amendment for the additional
senior homestead exemption because that would violate the single subject rule that Florida has. Even though the topics
are similar, It would take another ordinance.
