They are charging my mother over $60,000 because the documents they mail each year were not clear of what needs to be done should the person that applied for homstead excemption moves. However when brought to Mr. Garcias attention he disclaimed that every year there is a form with a big STOP sign that gives specific information. However the issue in hand is prior to that copy right form they now send. Truly if there is no change who opens the same document you have read over and over for years. I don't and I feel it is unfair for a retired senior after paying for her home has to pay for their error of not being clear with what needed to be done. I'm sure many have had to have paid for this same because if that was not the case why add that form that now states clearly what needs to happen. So many commiting fraud and get away with it. My mom who went to get her senior discount to her home which is minimum but as a retired senior every bit helps. She was surprised weeks later with the bill of over $60,000. No resolution but to pay which will bring a hardship for her and she is getting in debt to not accumulate more interest on the balance. The only thing Mr. Garcia assured us is not to worry becuase she will not lose her house for not payment. Of course more interest to accumulate and when she sells her house if she needed to that is when they will get their payment with all accumulated interest. Very sad that the system has no resolution for this type of errors from them not us the citizens and can not help without an attorney which as well you need funds...

While the clerk was very professional and good-mannered, I was flabbergasted by the troglodyte, uncalled-for ton-ton macoute attitude of the security guards -not even true cops- who seem hellbent like a wolf pack on arbitrarily intimidate the tax-paying fellows who go over there, in order to establish their notion of "order by fear".

As if following a totalitarian script, a miserable creole-speaking security guard happened to get irritated at the simple fact that, during a pandemic, I took the liberty of applying some of the hand sanitizer at the entrance, claiming stupidly it was Miami-Dade County's property, to which I had to remind him that property was paid with the tax money I had just delivered.

They are truly a liability to all of us, and a ticking lawsuit about to happen, which, like the hand sanitizer, will be paid ...

These guys are rude and dishonest. They are pulling a scam where they try to collect fees for occupational licenses from hard working citizens who move office locations on the grounds that they have a duty to report when they move offices or they keep getting charged When I looked up the ordinance it was a total lie (only required to notify when taking over an existing business). The guy I talked to was a total dick. He even threatened me by telling me that I had better pay because "he is the government and we can track you down". I can't believe my tax money goes towards paying the salary...
