Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
It could backfire. They could submit that the local government agrees with the evaluation so they can say it's a legitimate filing.
I guess the smart move, then, is to wait until the court case is over. If the court rules their was no fraud (which means the property valuation was accurate), then Florida should be ruthless about collecting back taxes. If the court rules that there was fraud, then Trump is subjected to whatever penalties the court hands out, but won't have to pay any additional back taxes.
Either way, Trump owes a debt - either to the court for fraud, or to the State of Florida for unpaid taxes.
Or both, because we all know he lowballed the value to the state to pay less tax in the first place.
…and simultaneously highballed the value so he’d get better loan conditions.
And neither number is likely anywhere close to what the actual value is.
Fraud has already been determined. All the court is doing now is deciding damages
Except in that case, then they're paying back taxes for 3 years on a billion dollars... might be more than the fines from the lawsuit.
I think it's more of an IF. IF he wins on this fraud charge, yeah the county should raise its evaluation and tax him. If no, then obviously not
Sounds like the taxpayer might be made whole to me
