County Tax Roll Unchanged Despite Supreme Court Ruling
Sarasota County tax assessor William N. Stuart said the 1965 tax roll will not change due to the high court decision on full market value. A rehearing petition is filed. Board of Equalization hearings begin in July, making an overall adjustment unlikely. Stuart notes ongoing mobile home assessments may yield 175000 to 200000 in additional revenue, and the Homestead Amendment shift could add 225000 to 250000 for county schools.
