Property Appraiser William "Bill" Markham
 |
Our Appraiser!! AND a New
member!!
The speaker today was Broward County Property Appraiser William "Bill"
Markham, Broward County Property Appraiser for over thirty years.
Bill was quick to point out that even though the assessment roll in
the county has grown by billions since his tenure began his office
staff which was 129 people when he started is only 129 today.
(Guess he had too many people back then???
 )
Bill also pointed out
the he and other state appraisers had lobbied the legislature several
years ago to get the "Save our Homes" initiative on the ballot as a
constitutional ammendment, one which passed overwhelmingly. The
trust of the amendment is to cap increases in property appraisals for
Homestead properties to no more than 3% of the prior years assessment,
something which has saved Florida residents thousands each year.
We appreciate Bill's
taking time from a busy schedule to join us along with several members
of his West Broward staff, and he made it clear that his offices are
available to all for assistance . |
