The Pinellas County Property Appraiser's office has just updated their database with preliminary values for 2009. Not surprisingly, values have gone way down across the board.
Many tax-paying homeowners w/ the Homestead Exemption believe their taxes should go down because their assessed values went down. The little hook in the Homestead law allows the TAX-assessed value to increase a maximum of 3% IF it's less than the Assessed value. So your taxes may actually rise!

About Me
- Rich Cornelius
- Born in New York, I retired to the Tampa Bay area at the ripe old age of 18 months, and have been a resident ever since. I attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, received my Bachelors Degree in Aeronautical Science and became an airline pilot with a major carrier. After 5 years in professional aviation, I joined Sand Key Realty, Sales & Rentals. While at Sand Key Realty, I successfully sold more than $10M in residential real estate, including one of the highest sales on record on Clearwater Beach. In June of '07, I joined Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate in Clearwater so I could better serve family, friends and clients alike and meet all of their real estate needs. In real estate, as in aviation, I do it right the first time because of the trust and responsibility placed in me by my clients. Simply put, it’s all about the details.
