50% Reduction In 2009 Taxes For Homeowners Affected By Chinese Drywall

Lori Parrish and Broward County have responded to the recent Chinese Drywall problem that has affected many South Florida residents.  As a result of the damage, the county is reducing the building value of residents with Chinese Drywall in their residents by 50% in order to ensure fair property assessments. Homeowners must provide the necessary documentations in order to receive the reduction.

But, the only way that the county will know that your home has Chinese Drywall is to contact Residential Department Manager Bob Zbikowski by email or at 954.357.5880.

Also, don’t worry if you have not filed by the September 19th deadline, as you can still receive the 50% reduction by the Value Adjustment Board.  You can also reach the Value Adjustment Board via email at: vab@broward.org

I have been keeping a close eye on the Chinese Drywall issue in the City of Parkland and throughout the State of Florida.

December Chinese Drywall Deadline Fast Approaching

Calling All Parkland & South Florida Residents Affected By Chinese Drywall!

Residents must find out if the wallboards in their homes were made by a company called: Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin Co.  Knauf has agreed to accept a class action lawsuit for ONLY one month.  Through the help of attorneys, homeowners with Chinese Drywall made by this manufacturer can now hopefully seek recourse.

Without this pact from Knauf, homeowners would have to spend lots of money and time filing lawsuits and complaints.  Now, all residents need to do is show that their wallboards were made by this manufacturer.  Hopefully, Knauf is looking at its full exposure as a company and will be willing to negotiate settlements.  But, time is of the essence.  Look through your documents when your home was built or call your developer.  You may also want to speak with the City of Parkland planning and zoning department.  I wrote an earlier article on how the City of Parkland established a task force to investigate the Chinese Drywall problem in the city.  Click Here to read this article.
