Tax Assessor,
Boynt on, Flo rids.
il My dear Assessor.
As I remember, someone told me that-year grieVience
~ ~ay comes sometime in August, and I wish you would kindly advise
~ me the amount of my assessment by return mail '
·
Last May when ! was in Boynton ! :learned that
~oma was assessed much more than the land direCtly.~ae~?s~
~: road to the south and I cannot see why such ~slb~ul~'~he ~eaae.
~The land at the south of Ocean Ave.. is certainlyk~:~luable
~!-i~f not more so. than Casa ~oma. for business purlieus* ~)~,t is
;~lwaya preferable to have show windows face
[~han the south ac aa to be protected from t~he :e~][Ve ~un
~.~treaming all day in the windows. While ~aea ~om~.:ia:lali off
~n Iota. hoover. I can see no advantage as there!~a?o roads,
~r improvements to make -it more valuable, and'the, lo~s are no~
~ven measur'e~ out. '~he land south, being in acreage~· could be
~old in any number of feet frontage and .~lepth, which:is reai!y
~'invalua~le asset over 0asa Lone. That the twa pie'cee of
~and face Ocean Ave.. and that far ~toreS, which` Very~naturally
~uat have show win~owa, and being preferable to-faCe from the
ann, certainly the land ~'aouth of the Aves:', musts'be as valuable
~aaa Lone. _and I believe it is really 'a more valUable .piece
~~an~than 9aaa ~oma. It ~ay add a little work ~o 'handle
~a'~o~ in lots, however, I cannot see a greater value than
~'.h~ lan~ south aa mentione~ and if both were placed at auction
~e, I~oubt much difference in value, in fact would mot be
riaed to see the land at the south bring the moat.
~e't an~ it seemed aa though the entire bottom~was ecean, 'and,
~te get a lo--clarion for a building would certainly cost :some
~aoeny, and. this being true, the land is ,leas -valuable than
~ota would be where but little foundation expense W~uld be
E.e ce a s .
ary~
W" that last year was a hard and trying
I can appreciate
~ar for 'assessors to egt correct valuation, but it would seem
~ja~ t now they could give ua a much fairer assessment and ~eally
~adJustment of last years outrageous assessment' should be
ted out to us.
~.[~" Thanking you in advance for a prompt reply. I am.
Very truly yours,
Lots are 20 & 21."
