A High Springs man traveling
with one passenger was west bound
on CR 340, four miles west of High
Springs, when the driver lost control
of the single vehicle as the accident
occurred at 3:15 a.m Saturday.
The Florida Highway Patrol report-
ed James Edward Deal, 25, of High
Springs, died from injuries sustained
in this accident after he lost control of
his 1993 Chevrolet pickup truck.
Deal was driving westbound into
Gilchrist County when the vehicle
redirected to a southwesterly path
of travel, taking the truck across the
eastbound lane of CR 340.
When the vehicle started across the
pavement, it began to rotate counter-
clockwise. The vehicle continued to
travel southwesterly and turning in a
counterclockwise rotation as it trav-
eled onto the south shoulder of the
highway.
As the vehicle continued traveling
in that direction, it struck a field fence
on the south side of the right of way
as it began to overturn. The vehicle
continued to roll over as the roof of
the truck struck a tree.
The vehicle then began to turn in a
clockwise rotation as it continued to
travel in the southwesterly direction.
The truck landed on the south side

Does anyone care that homes are
being burglarized and people have
been murdered?
By Carrie A. Mizell <
A plethora of elected officials and
law enforcement experts attended an
open forum last Thursday night to
discuss the rise in crime in this com-
munity; unfortunately, only a handful
df citizens showed up.
Organized by the Gilchrist County
Commissioners and Clerk of Court
Joe Gilliam, the open forum was held
to foster an open discussion as to what
can be done to combat a rise in drug
use and crime in the community.
"Crime and drugs are no longer an
exclusive problem in big cities," Gil-
liam said.
Armed with a PowerPoint presen-
tation, State Attorney Bill Cervone
said that citizens of Gilchrist County
still have an advantage over people
living in larger cities, in that people.
still care about people and their com-
munity. Cervone presented statistics
on crime trends in Gilchrist County
to start the discussion.
According to Cervone's statistics,
the county's population in 2007 was
,at 17,106 residents. The State Attor-
ney's Office handled 1,219 cases in
2008, compared to 1,367 cases .in
2007. Of those 2008 cases, 219 were
felony cases, while 892 were misde-
meanor cases and 108 were juvenile
cases. The information shown in the
graph provides further information;
however, Cervone said it's impor-
tant to note that the statistics only
represent the number of cases where
an arrest was possible and therefore
the case was sent on to his office for
prosecution.
Cervone pointed out that a 2008
Interim Medical Examiner's Report
revealed the most prevalent drugs
used are: (1) Alcohol (2) Benzodiaz-
epines, which are prescription drugs
like Xanax and Valium and (3) Co-
caine. The top five drugs that caused
death in 2008 were: (1) Oxycodone
(2) Benzodiazepines (prescription
drugs) (3) Cocaine (4) Methadone
and (5) Alcohol. The report indicated
that prescription drugs were much
more prevalent than illicit drugs.
"There are bad parts of this county
where all of these drugs are used,"
Cervone said. "Oxycodone in the
hands of young people is subject to
misuse."
After the state attorney finished
presenting the most recent statistics,
Sheriff Daniel Slaughter stepped up

Trenton's Bryce Carlisle
will open local charity concert
By Carrie A. Mizell I
Trenton native Bryce Carlisle
will perform his debut single "Big
Nite In A Small Town" at the 2nd
Annual Bark-N-Purr Charity Con-
cert on Saturday, Feb. 28.
Carlisle will open for Nashville
country music artist Craig Mor-
gan, beginning at 6:30 p.m. on the
main stage at the Bronson Youth
League Park. Morgan will take
the stage at 8 p.m. in an effort to
raise funds for a spay and neuter
clinic and adoption center for the
tri-county area.
Growing up on a farm outside
of Trenton, Carlisle was bitten
by the music bug while in high
school. He transferred from Tren-
ton High School to Santa Fe High
School in llth grade to play base-
ball for the Raiders in hopes of
getting a scholarship. When the
scholarship offer came, Carlisle
turned it down in favor of pursu-
ing his musical dreams.
In late 2005, Bryce met Nash-
ville session player Steve Brant-
ley who encouraged him to make
the move to Nashville, which he
did. While working with Brantley,
Carlisle said he met a number of
other influences in Nashville, but
mostly learned the art of crafting
songs.
During his time in Nashville,
he formed a band with some fel-
low songwriters and got picked
up by a booking agent who sent
them immediately on an SEC col-
lege tour to states throughout the
southeast, including Mississippi,
Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia,
and Florida.
"This was probably the cool-
est thing I've ever done," Carlisle
said.
After learning about the record-
ing industry, Carlisle decided he
would return to Gilchrist County,
where he hopes to benefit. finan-

"We are trying to give kids support

Bradley, director of secondary edu-
cation and reading with the Gilchrist "
County School District.
When asked to compare the num-
ber of drug and gang problems in
Gilchrist County schools within the
last several years, Thomas said he
feels like there has not been much
change from four years ago. He did
say the types of drugs being used
have changed from illicit drugs like
marijuana to prescription drugs kids
are bringing into the schools.
Gilliam said that he is currently
working with the sheriff to look at
outside resources at the state level
that may be available to help fight the
criine problem in Gilchrist County.
Slaughter did say that he has been in
contact with the National Guard, and
they do offer a program where guard
members may come in and help with
the ongoing problem of anhydrous
ammonia thefts at Southern States
in Trenton. However, Slaughter said
that due to limited resources he does
not see what Gilchrist County could
have to gain from partnering with a
multi-county drug task force.
In 2008, Slaughter said there was
$577;000in reported property loss in'
Gilchrist County. Over $155,000 was
automobiles and $85,000 was jew-
elry. Ultimately, the elected officials
and law enforcement officers agreed
that the most important thing citizens
can do is be aware.
"We have to educate the citizens
of What to look for," County Com-
missioner Tommy Langford said. "If
there are cars coming in and out of
your neighbor's house day and night,
then chances are they're not going
over to borrow sugar."
Gilliam agreed, saying that factors
leading to the increase in crime in the
area could be the economy, growth,
and recreational drugs, which K-9
dogs do not alert on. The clerk of
court is planning additional open fo-
rums in the future.,

John's Comments
By John M. Ayers
What has now become a time hon-
ored tradition of staying at Suwan-
nee and catching some catfish for the
Educational Foundation's Wild Beast
Feast was once again a success for
the upcoming sixteenth annual April
17 Wild Beast Feast.
I went to Suwannee for the first-
week in February to enjoy some time
away and catch a few fish, but the
biggest surprise was the cold weather
that followed me. I had talked with
Roger Pittman about putting out
some bush hooks and trying to catch
some catfish, and he quickly agreed
he would be down Wednesday after-
noon.
On Monday morning I woke up to
daylight and a rainy day, It rained off
and on until mid afternoon. When the
skies cleared enough to try fishing
on the dock, the tide was coming in
which made it a perfect opportunity.
The fishing was surprisingly good
as the redfish and the hybrids were
nibbling the shrimp. As the weather
turned from nice to colder, the fish-
ing went to pot, as the fish must have
swum under a rock on Tuesday.
On Wednesday afternoon it was
time to catfish as Roger and I loaded
his gear into J's stumpknocker for the
trip up the river, Roger had 50 or so
bush hooks and a trotline that would
stretch a mile. When we finally got
all the hooks tied and baited and the
trotline on the bottom, it was dark
C Letter to 1
House Bill 451
Regarding "John's Comments"
of January 29, 2009, I agree that we
need less government interference
in our lives. That said, I believe the
House Bill 451, requiring mandatory
spay/neutering of pets, should' be
passed because there are too many
irresponsible people who allow their
pets to randomly. breed and there
aren't enough people willing or able
to adopt the offspring. The financial
burden for animal services on coun-
ties in Florida, especially small ones
such as Gilchrist, is. great and grow-
ing.
As Gilchrist County grows, the pet
population will most likely grow as
well, creating an even greater burden
on our animal services employees
and facility. Several rescue groups are
presently working very hard to find
suitable homes for the unwanted pets
that end up at our shelter because ir-
responsible pet owners allowed their
animals to breed and then didn't want
the puppies or kittens that resulted.
thirty and the cold weather had set in.
He explained we needed to check the
lines before going to sleep, but the
mercury had already gone into hiding
so we waited until daylight Thursday
morning.
Thursday was possibly the cold-
est day of the year, with the tide at
its lowest point after daylight. The
banks along the creeks and river were
frozen by ice up to 3 feet up above the
water's edge. Thursday afternoon we
were joined by Doug and Brett Craw-
ford to make the afternoon inspection
and baiting of the hooks. After a meal
of catfish, sweet potatoes and hush
puppies by the Crawfords, we hit the
river to check the lines one last time.
When we returned just before 11:00
p.m., Brett had taken 20 plus catfish
from the river in what turned out to
be the best catch of the three days.
By Saturday morning we were
all getting weathered so we pulled
the hooks and cleaned what fish we
caught Friday night. Our total ended
with 60 catfish that averaged 4-6
pounds each. These fish will be pre-
pared for the public at the April 17,
16th Annual Gilchrist County Educa-
tional Foundation Wild Beast Feast.
The revenues from this evening of
feasting and visiting will provide
scholarships to Gilchrist County stu-
dents. Get your tickets at the Gilchrist
County Journal and many area busi-
nesses.

emptions for certain .animals writ-
ten into their mandatory spay/neuter
ordinance, namely hunting dogs,
police dogs, service dogs (such as
seeing-eye), and show kennels that.
are licensed. I hope that HB 451 con-
tains those exemptions as well. If it
doesn't, the bill could be amended to
contain them.
Over 7 million companion animals
are euthanized in the US every year,
a sad reflection on an -irresponsible
population. Studies have shown that
spayed/neutered animals live longer,
healthier lives than those left intact,
all the more reason to provide their
comfort and longevity. Low cost
spay/neuter clinics and vouchers are
available for low-income people who
want to do the best for their pets, but
don't have the resources.
If all pet owners were responsible,
there would be no need for further
government interference in our pet
population.

Streetwise
By Lauren Rudd
Groundhog Day has come and gone
and once again selected members of
Marmota monax found themselves
yanked out- of their comfortable dens
at 7:34 a.m. to view their shadows,
the purpose being to predict the
weather six weeks into the future.
Given the 'expertise most ground-
hogs have with the English language,
not to mention meteorology, there is
probably some doubt as to scientific
strength of this forecasting approach.
Unfortunately, many on Wall Street
have about the same aptitude and
predictive capability as your local
groundhog.
Consider a recent article that ap-
peared.in the New York Times re-
garding "troubled assets." Apparently
a mortgage-backed bond was valued
by a division of Standard & Poor's
at 87 cents on the dollar, under ideal
conditions, and 53 cents if defaults
increase. The institution owning it
said it was worth 97 cents on the dol-
lar (chuckle).
That same bond recently traded at
38 cents on the dollar, which is what
the market believed it was really
worth. So much for "mark-to-mar-
ket," although it clearly illustrates
why financial institutions are so op-
posed to the market valuation of those
toxic assets they helped create.
To make matters worse, rather than
question the efficacy of unrealistic
forecasts, Wall Street continues to let
greed and bloated ideas of self-worth
run rampant over common sense.
Hence, we have the reoccurrence of
debacles in the credit and office sup-
ply markets. My only question is how
much better does a parchment cov-
ered $1,400 receptacle, picked out by
a designer whose fee was $800,000,
hold trash than the version sold by
Why So Few Will Be Saved
(Kent Heaton)
It is difficult to imagine that most people who have
lived since the beginning of time will not enjoy eternal
life. This idea will be a shock to most people today. As
Jesus was going through the cities and villages teaching,
someone said to him, "Lord, are there few that be saved?

10:9).
A third group of people that will be lost are those who

God and yet fail to follow the commands of the Lord. This

Actually, the item in question was
a bargain. Norwood Antiques in
New York would have offered up the
more opulent fine leather edition for
$3,750. All this would be humorous
until you realize where the money is
coming from...the commissions and
fees paid by ordinary investors. May-
be trash cans and mortgage-backed
securities are not the only over priced
items on Wall Street.
Incidentally, the American As-
sociation of Individual Investors, a
non-profit organization, just released
their annual survey of deep discount
brokerage firms. Scottrade was once
again number one in customer satis-
faction for the fifth consecutive year.
TD Ameritrade came in second. The

Having grandchildren makes youI
look at everything through their eyes.
It will be a sad day if Florida House
Bill 451 passes. Did you know that
according to the American Kennel
Club, Bill 451 will require owners
of every dog or cat in Florida to have
each animal sterilized within 30 days
of the animal's reaching four months
of age, or within,30 days of the own-
er's receiving the animal. By the way,
the Kennel Club is not in favor of it.
What this means is that my grand-
children will never see a litter of
puppies unless I go to some licensed
breeder somewhere so they can see a
litter. Of course they will not be al-
lowed to play with the puppies like
they can when you have a litter at
home.
I grew up on a farm, and we had
hunting dogs and working dogs such
as cross-bred cattle dogs. We often
had litters; and they were always
given away to people who wanted a
hound or a working cattle dog. I re-
member playing with the litters as a
child and how sweet they were.
To many, stray animals in Florida
are a problem but rushing out and
passing a law which will affect a way
of life for generations of Floridians is
can for homeowners."
You mean like.Mary Ann Smith of
Adams County, Colo., who recently
watched as the Sheriff's Department
put. her belongings, and those of her
four kids, on the street on a cold win-
ter day due, to a bank foreclosure.
Unbeknown to Smith who rented the
home, the homeowner had stopped
paying the bank, hence the eviction.
The tentacles of complicity, duplicity
and collusion, made possible by de-
regulation,- are now strangling Main
Street.
Meanwhile, the Wells Fargo/Wa-
chovia trip was to come shortly after.
Wells Fargo posted a loss of more
than $2.3 billion last quarter: Luckily,
a few terse comments from Congress
such as, "They are going to Vegas to
roll the dice on the taxpayer dime,"
led to an abrupt cancellation of that
boondoggle.
Not to be left out, Morgan Stanley
($10 billion in bailout funds) plans to
send its employees to a hotel in Mon-
te Carlo, along with a similar event in
the Bahamas. It is unclear if the trips
were canceled. Maybe groundhogs
are under utilized.

we don't need a new law for every
little bump in the road we have. Let's
not depend on our state and federal

that stray animals are a problem, and
given time and education, the prob-
lem may resolve itself.

this recipe before, but it's easy and

2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup grated medium-
Cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
Melted butter
Combine biscuit mix, milk, cheese

Gilchrist County holds
T Roxic oundup on '
March 7, 2009
I Bring household hazardous wastes
such as paint, insecticides, used oil,
solvents, fluorescent lamps, used
I batteries, old fertilizer, cleaning
chemicals and stale gasoline to
the 2009 Gilchrist County Toxic
Roundup. These items are some
of the many household hazardous'
wastes that will be safely disposed
of for you. The Toxic Roundup will
be held on Saturday, March 7, at the
Solid Waste Transfer and Recycling
Station in Bell from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
and at the City Park Picnic Shelter in
Trenton from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Proper
disposal of these products will help
prevent contamination of our water
* supply and keep our environment
safe.
Simply bring your household haz-
ardous wastes to the collection center
and the trained attendants will un-
load and handle all your hazardous
wastes; there is no need to even get
out of your car! The process is quick,
easy, and free of charge for Gilchrist
County residents and is fee based for
businesses.
To transport these hazardous ma-
terials, carefully pack the hazard-
ous waste containers in boxes with
dividers. If a container leaks, pack
it in a larger container with an ab-
sorbent material such as cat litter or
oil absorbent. Do not mix different
or unknown materials together. All
containers must be labeled. If you
cannot identify the contents, label it
"unknown."
Do not bring explosives -such as
ammunition, dynamite and blasting
agents; reactives such as crystal-
lized ethers, picric acid and sodium
and phosphorus metals; infectious
wastes; or pressurized cylinders such
as compressed gases.

The team averaged 23 points .per
game this season with opponents
averaging 19. Neighbors to the south,
the Chiefland Indians, gave the Tigers
two losses, with the Tigers defeating
Bronson, Bell, and Mayo twice, and
splitting games with Oak Hall. Khalil
Kearson was the most experienced
player and led the team in points,
scoring 100 points even. Cora Lord,
coach, congratulates the girls on an
enjoyable and winning year, and really
appreciates .the adults who assisted
with keeping the scorebook and clock
(Kylie Johnson's family connections).
Karina Turner, who acted as manager
for the season, keeping up with all
balls, the uniforms, and water keg
was very much appreciated also. The
girls and their families enjoyed pizza

I A'f Springhouse Quilters News
I. *E.~ -
Springhouse Quilters will be cel-
ebrating their seventeenth year this
month. Springhouse Quilters was
formed in February 1992 by a very
small group of ladies who started
meeting at the Lodge (Springhouse)
Building at Otter Springs. The mem-
bership has grown from approxi-
mately 4-10 members into a member-
ship of over 100 members. These are
ladies who are dedicated to quilting
and to continuing to teach quilting to
others. Each year, as new members
join, they are offered the opportu-
nity as a benefit of being a Spring-
house member to attend 8-10 begin-
ning quilting classes. This year, there
are approximately 12 new members
who are attending beginning quilting
classes. The membership of Spring-
house encourages the membership
to share their knowledge and teach
others to preserve the art of quilting.
Many quilts made over the years
have been made out of necessity for
warmth. Today, although warmth is
still a must, the form of quilting has
evolved into an 'art form, and many
quilts are made and preserved as a
piece of art.
Springhotise has two groups of
members, a day group and a night

second Tuesday each month to take
care of the business that must be at-
tended to. On the fourth Tuesday each
month the day members are offered a
workshop to learn new quilting tech-
niques or patterns.
The night group meets each Tues-
day night, and they too have a class
of beginners and take care of busi-
ness and have interesting workshops
throughout each month.
Springhouse Quilters have used
several other locations over the years
for their meetings from Fanning
Springs City Hall, Woodman of the
World, Don Martin Insurance, Shrine
Club, Donnie Precinct Building and
have finally located permanently
to their present home west of Tren-
ton. The property where their house
is located was donated to Spring-
house by Luther and Juanita White
of Chiefland. The mobile home on
the property was donated by Fanning
Springs City Commission. Mem-
bers of Springhouse along with their
family members moved and renovat-
ed the mobile home. into its current
condition.

ly Play Boys were out for a day of

February 5th meeting
Log Cabin Quilters met Thursday,
February 5 at the Levy County Quilt
Museum. In spite of it being cold,
.we had a great day. The no-name
quilt was taken out of the frame,
and Goldie will hem it at home. A
beautiful Rail Fence done in color of
greens was started, and it was pieced
by Shirley Murphy from Tennessee.
We have had more fabric come
in, and we need to get rid of it so we
can make room for more. A lot of it
is double-knit that could be used for
lap robes.
Donna Saywell and Caroline Craig
From Williston are doing so well on
the quilts that they are quilting on
hoops. Donna has never quilted, but
she is really doing a great job.
We are all ready to go to'the fair
next Tuesday. It will be a fun day; the
bus is full and we hope to see some

Tangible Personal Property returns must be filed no
later than April 1st. Failure to file a return will result in
a penalty and an assessment will be made as
provided by Florida Law. Tangible Personal Property
includes property such as business furniture and
fixtures, machinery and equipment, household goods,
and personal effects. (Florida residents are exempt
from the tax on household goods and personal effects
in their homestead.) The deadline for charitable and
qualified non-profit organizations eligible as such
exemption is March l1t. All others must file by April
1st.
Additional Homestead Exemption
How does the "double homestead" work?
The existing homestead exemption typically reduces the assessed value
of a property used as a primary residence by a Florida resident by
$25,000. This would provide an additional homestead exemption up to
$25,000, on the assessed value between $50,000 and $75,000.
For example, if your assessment is $65,000,.the first $25,000 and that
portion above $50,000 ($15,000) would be exempt, making your taxable
value $25,000 (65,0p0-25,000-15,000). Prior to new law, the taxable
value would have been $40,000 (65,000-25,000).
This additional homestead exemption does NOT reduce the assessed
value upon which school taxes are based. Also, it does not reduce or
otherwise affect the "Save Our Homes" deduction or any other exemp-
tions. It is not necessary to file for this additional exemption if you, have
the Homestead Exemption already.

lands who desire agricultural
classifications for tax purposes on

Q. What is Tangible Personal Property?
A. Tangible Personal Property is everything other than real
estate that has value by itself. It would include things such as
furniture, fixtures, tools, machinery, household appliances,
signs, equipment, leasehold improvements, supplies, leased
equipment and any other equipment used in a business or to earn
income.
Q. Who must file? .
A. Anyone in possession of assets on January 1 who has either
a proprietorship, partnership, corporation or is a self-employed
agent or contractor, must file each year. Property owners who
lease, lend or rent property must also file.
Q. Why must I file a return?
A. Florida Statutes 193.052 requires that all tangible personal
property be reported each year to the Property. Appraiser's
office. If you receive a return, it's because our office has
determined that you may have property to report. If you feel the
form is not applicable, return it with an explanation. Either way,
the form MUST be returned. Failure to receive a Personal
Property Tax Return (DR-405) does not relieve you of your
obligation to file.
Q. How can I obtain this form?
A. At the beginning of the year a return is mailed to Tangible
Personal Property owners. If you do not get one, contact the
Property Appraiser's Office.
Q. What if I have no assets to report? Do I still have to file a
return?
A. Yes, if you feel you do not have anything to report, fill out
items I through 9 on the return, and attach an explanation of
why nothing was reported. However, almost all businesses and
rental units have some assets to report even if it is only supplies,
rented equipment or household goods.
Q. If I am no longer in business, should I still file the return?
A. Yes, if you were hnot in business on January 1 of the taxing
year, follow this procedure:
1) On your return, indicate the date you went out of business and
the manner in which you disposed of your business assets.
Remember if you still have the assets, you must file on them.
2) Sign and date the return.
3) Have your signature fiotarized.
4) Mail the return back to this office,
Q. What is.an office or field review assessment?
A. When a tax return is not filed by April I we are required to
place an assessment on the property. This assessment represents
an estimate based on the value of business with similar
equipment and assets. Being assessed does not alleviate your
responsibility to file an accurate return.
Q. What if I don't agree with the assessed value that appears on
the notice of proposed property taxes that I receive in
August of each year?
A. Call this office or come in and discuss the matter with us. If
you have evidence that the appraised value is more than the
actual fair market value of your property, we will welcome the
opportunity to review all the pertinent facts.
$25,000 Tangible Personal
Property Exemption
In order to receive this new exemption, you must
file a Tangible Personal Property Return by April
1, unless an exemption has been granted.
Tangible Property Return shall be considered an
application for the exemption and will be applied
to the first $25,000 of assessed value for the TPP
account.

HELPFUL HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS
File the original return with this office (with name and
account number preprinted), as soon as possible before
April. 1. Be sure jo sign and date your return.
Work with your accountant or C.P.A. to. identify any.
equipment that may have been "Physically Removed".
List those items in the appropriate space on your return.
If you have an asset listing or depreciation schedule
that identifies each piece of equipment, attach it to your
complete return.
Do not use vague terms such as "various" or "same as
last year".
It is to your advantage to provide a breakdown of
assets since depreciation on each item may vary.
Please include your estimate of fair market value and
the original cost of the item on your return. They are
important considerations in determining an accurate
assessment.
Additional information regarding filing is provided in
the instructional section of the return itself.
If you sell your business, go out of business, or move
to a new location, please inform this office. It will enable
us to keep timely, accurate records.

Q. What if I buy or sell an existing business during the year Who is
responsible for the taxes?
A. The new owner is responsible, however if there is insufficient
property to satisfy the taxes due, the owner on January I would be responsible for
the difference. Most title companies do not do a search of the tangible assets of a
business. You should therefore consult your realtor, attorney or closing agent to
avoid problems in this area.
Q. What if I receive more than one tax return?
4 A. All returns must be sent back. If you have more than one
location, the assets of each should be listed separately on each return.
Q. What if I have old equipment that has been fully depreciated and
written off the books?
A. Whether fully depreciated in your accounting records or
not, all property still in use or in your possession should be reported.
Q. Do I have to report assets that I lease, loan, rent, borrow or are
provided in the rent?
A. 'Yes, there is an area on the return specifically for those
assets. Even though the assets are assessed to the owner, they must be listed
for informational purposes.
Q. Is there a minimum value that I do not have to report?
A. No, there is no minimum value. A tangible tax return must
be filed on all assets by April 1.
Q. If I rent my furnished home or condo for a few months, do I have to
file a tangible personal property tax return?
A. Yes, since rental activity is of an income producing nature,
you must file a return which lists your personal property. Items that should
be listed include: Draperies, furniture, appliances and any other personal
property included in the rental unit.
Q. Are there deadlines and penalties?
A. The deadline for filing a timely return is April 1. After
April 1, Florida Statutes provide that PENALTIES be applied at 5% per
month or portion of a month that the return is late. A 15% penalty is
required for unreported property, AND A 25% PENALTY IF NO
RETURN IS FILED.
