Chinese Drywall

Broward County has reduce the value of homes with Chinese Drywall. If you currently have a home with Chinese drywall, I would suggest you head down to the property tax office and inquire.

Taken from the BCPA.net site….

As has been extensively reported in the news, some homes constructed in Broward within the past few years contain contaminated Chinese drywall. This drywall — over time — emits sulfur odors and seemingly causes visible corrosion to copper pipes and air conditioner evaporator coils. However, until a homeowner contacts our office to notify us, we have no way of independently identifying which homes contain contaminated Chinese drywall. These drywall problems seriously impact the value of these homes.

To ensure fair assessments for these damaged properties, Florida Statute Section 193.1552 instructs our office to reduce the building value portion to $0 “if the building cannot be used for its intended purpose without remediation or repair” — subject to the owners providing us with sufficient documentation of the condition. Additionally, the law only applies if “the purchaser was unaware of the [contaminated] drywall at the time of purchase” — so we examine the real estate listings to see if the condition was disclosed prior to the most recent sale.

To request this reduction, please contact Deputy Appraiser Larry Singh by email or at 954.357.7216 to notify us if your home has documented Chinese drywall issues. Note: You do not need to resubmit this documentation to us for 2011 if you previously submitted it in a prior year. Click here to read more if you have contaminated drywall issues.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Do you like taking pictures with your iPhone?

Do you ever wish you could zoom in on an object, or could get just a little more of a room? Well guess what? There are external lens you can buy to put on the phone.

The lens is attach magnetically. I recently purchased a set of lens for my phone. Being in Real Estate, there are times that I am taking pictures of a listing, I hate carring so many different tools. My phone, my camera, my video camera, tripod, and other things. Having these lens help me by not having to carry all of those.

I can take video and AWESOME pictures with the iPhone, and with the new lens it makes it sooo much better. I had the chance yesterday to take some pictures of a listing I have with the new Wide Angle lens. Here are some pictures of rooms with and without the lens.

Give the full range, makes it better for a potential buyer to see the actual room. What do you think?

Property taxes

Are you looking to find a way to pay your property taxes? Broward County has set up a way for you to pay them if your mortgage lender doesn’t pay them for you. Here is some information from their website.

Residents can save time, avoid long lines and reduce parking congestion traditionally associated with making property tax payments by using Broward County’s new drive-thru payment station, open this tax payment season on Friday, March 30, and Monday, April 2.

A drive-thru payment station will be located in the parking lot of the Governmental Center Annex building, 115 S. Andrews Ave., accepting payments from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. To access the kiosk, customers should enter the parking lot from the Brickell Avenue (west) side of the Governmental Center and follow the signs.

Payments can also be made online and at any Broward County branch of Wells Fargo. For more information visit the Records, Taxes and Treasury website or call 954-831-4000.
