Clearwater Florida Election Results are In - Real Estate a Big Winner!

Clearwater Florida - Pinellas County is reporting a 37% voter turnout - which tops even the 2000 and 2004 Presidential Primaries.

Amendment 1 did pass so for many of my Clearwater Florida real estate clients looking to buy a second home or condo in the Clearwater or Tampa Bay area - theyll be happy to know that the 10% per year tax cap passed for all non-homestead owners Clearwater home owners!

Many of us think it should have been 5% but our thought is half a loaf is better than no loaf - especially in this Clearwater Florida real estate market! Were making progress and the journeys not over but I believe its moving in the right direction.

Ive included full detail how to calculate your new Save Our Homes Tax Equity and Portability.

Tomorrow is more than just Super Tuesday in the Presidential Primary Election and local elections here in Clearwater Florida and the Beaches.
In the state of Florida we have another big issue that will get decided on by Tampa Bay residents - it is Florida Constitutional Amendment 1 that has 4 components that will affect our future property taxes if it passes with 60% of the voters voting YES!
Provision #3 is the one most of my real estate investors and second home owners are watching since it will provide much needed help to our non-homestead Clearwater Beach property owners.

Remember when you vote it’s ALL or NOTHING! If the Amendment passes it will be retroactive to January 1, 2008. So I will give you an overview of the four Provisions Amendment 1 covers:

Clearwater Beach Florida –  Tuesday I was out showing Clearwater Beach Real Estate and we drove by the Clearwater Beach Recreation Center when we were done to check out their temporary library. You can see it in  photo here. My two boys were with me and made me laugh when they asked me, “Mom, why is there a portable parked here?” – I have to admit it looks out of place with Belle Harbor Clearwater Beach town homes and condos in the background and around it are views of the intercoastal waterway and the boat basin, site of the coming Sandpearl condo owners boat docks. I explained to them that this was just the temporary home of the Clearwater Beach Library – the Rec Center is building a new library this spring.     

Clearwater Beach Florida – Recreation Center and New Library

Well the good news is that the Clearwater City Council plans to approve a major Beach Recreation Center renovation (to the tune of $600,000). It will include 1200 square feet of new construction – the addition to the Center will create a permanent home for the Beach Library complete with it’s own air conditioning to keep the books from mildewing.  If all goes as planned, the new construction will be completed on time and the Clearwater beach library will open by May 2008. Other planned renovations will include updating windows, the kitchen and storage areas will be updated and an overall “face-lift” including upgrading their fitness room as well. Many people don’t realize that the Beach Recreation center’s waterfront multi-purpose room is available for rent for weddings on the waterfront, wedding receptions especially if getting married on the beach, parties and other group functions. It has a fabulous view and is one of those Clearwater Beach secrets that locals like to keep to themselves.
