The Miami-Dade County property appraiser released its preliminary tax roll information with all four taxing jurisdictions fire rescue, library, the unincorporated area and Miami-Dadew overall – seeing a decline. The countywid decrease comparing preliminary tax numbers from year to year showe a 9percent decrease, or a total of $22.55 billion.” “These losses would have been worsw if not for new construction that was addede to the property tax roll as of Jan. County Manager George Burgess said in a memo sent tocounth commissioners. North Bay Village took the biggest hit, down 20.2 percentt from 2008 levels. Homestead saw an 18.
2 percent decline, followed by Normandy Shores, down 17.5 and Aventura which was down 17.3 Golden Beach and the tiny city of Islandiq sawno change. Medley saw a 1.5 percenyt drop while Biscayne Park saw a 4 percent Click for thefull list. Stafferds reviewed property tax rolls goinyg back to 1985 and founde that 1993 saw taxable value shrinkjby 2.9 percent, or $1.9 billion. “Even in 2008, when we absorbedf the impact of doubling the homesteaxd exemptionfrom $25,000 to $50,000, the property tax roll was relativelu flat,” Burgess explained in the memo. “These losses in property tax roll valuesare unprecedented.
” Burgesds warned of a lot more pain on the horizon, usinv the last two years as a barometer of what is coming. For the seconfd consecutive year, Miami-Dade faced a $200 million budgeg gap in the lastfiscaol year.

“We are working diligently to prepare a proposef budget forFY [fiscal year] 2009-1 that to the extent possible, preserves essential servicesw and minimizes service impacts to our residents,” he wrote in the memo. “However, closinvg a budgetary gap of this size will require some verydifficul decisions.”
