About Our Live Local Act Consulting in Pompano Beach
Florida's Live Local Act can lower property taxes on rental buildings that set aside units for residents at qualifying incomes. We read the state and county requirements, explain them in plain words, prepare the paperwork and tell you what comes next at each step, so nothing is left to guesswork.
Why We Do This Work
The Live Local Act gave Florida rental owners a real chance to lower their property taxes by setting aside units for residents at qualifying income levels. The catch is the paperwork. An owner needs a certification from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation, then a DR-504AFH application filed with the county property appraiser, and both have to line up with rents, unit counts and resident incomes.
The rules are rarely hard to follow once someone lays them out clearly. Too often, nobody does. So explanation sits at the center of how we work. Before we prepare a single form, we walk you through what the law asks for, which of your units may qualify and what records you will need.
So far we have prepared filings for about 100 Florida properties. Each one taught us where applications tend to stall, such as a rent figure that does not match the income limit for that year, or a unit count that differs between the certification and the county form. We check for those issues first so they do not surface after a deadline.
How We Work With You
Requirements explained before forms
You hear what the state and county expect in plain language before we start. If something about your property makes eligibility uncertain, we say so up front.
An honest answer on eligibility
Your first call gets you a free eligibility check. If the numbers do not support an application, we tell you, and we do not sell you a filing that is likely to be denied.
Every figure checked against the source
Rents, unit counts and income limits are matched against your rent roll and the current published limits. The certification and the county application have to agree, so we prepare them side by side.
Work that fits your schedule
We meet at our office or by phone and video, so you never have to host us on site. Most of what we need comes from records you already keep.
