Cape Coral Foreclosure Assistance Package

Help is on the way for the City of Cape Coral which has had a number of foreclosure, short sale, bank owned, and REO properties throughout the course of the past few years.

U.S. Senator Mel Martinez announced yesterday that the State of Florida will be receiving just over $541 million in Federal Foreclosure Aid. Of the $541 million in Federal Foreclosure Aid being distributed to the State of Florida, the City of Cape Coral will be receiving just over $ 7 million dollars or $7,065,483.92 to be exact.

The money can be used by the City of Cape Coral to maintain or even purchase abandoned homes, and homes that have become eyesores in neighborhoods. The funds can also be used given as downpayment and closing cost assistance to low and moderate-income homebuyers. The vision of the Federal Foreclosure Aid is that through proper maintainence of these homes they and the surround homes in the neighborhood will retain their values and not lower values in the same neighborhood.

If you are in financial distress and have thought about selling you home as a Short Sale to avoid foreclosure, follow this link for assistance. Florida Future Realty Inc can help you and your family. We are a proven leader in our community when it comes to listing, negotiating, and closing short sale properties for our customers.

Lee County Property Tax 2008 TRIM Notice

The Lee County Property Appraiser has released Notice of Proposed Property Taxes also known as the "TRIM" Notice on Friday August 22nd, 2008.

TRIM is an acronym that stands for "Truth In Millage." The TRIM notice contains specific information designed to inform you of your property tax obligations as required by the Truth In Millage Law that was established in the 1980's by the Florida Legislature.

With the decrease in values and the increased Homestead Exemption I have seen my own property taxes decrease 29%. I also researched some of the properties that I sold to customers this past year. One of my customers from British Columbia Canada is seeing a 37% decrease in their property taxes on a Gulf Access Residence they purchased this year. Calculate the percentage change in your property taxes.

The TRIM notice provides the property owner with the following value information:

  • Market Value
  • Assessed Value
  • Exemptions in Value
  • School Taxable Value
  • Taxable Value

The TRIM notice also provides the property owner with the Name, Address, Telephone Number, and Public Hearing dates for the various Taxing Authorities if you wish to attend and voice your opinion on the proposed tax.

The TRIM notice also displays your previous year values for you to compare increases or decreases in value and how it relates to your property taxes.

Follow this link to the Lee County Property Appraisers Office to View your TRIM Notice Online. Simply fill in your name or your property address, click on your specific property and then scroll to the bottom of the page to view your 2008 TRIM Notice.

Most Lee County Taxing authorities are either holding or decreasing their millage rates and passing on the savings to the public.
