The taxes were based on taxes paid last year of $4,196.02 based on the assessed value of $195,660.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Recently, Broward County has reassessed our properties since we are in a declining market.\u00a0 The assessed value is now $133,040, as evidenced by the BCPA.net printout dated 6\/1\/2009.\u00a0 As you can see, the value has decreased approximately 34%. $133,040 times the millage rate (chart #0513) of 20.8884 would put my taxes at around $2,778.99. I have also attached the millage rate chart for your perusal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Please note these adjustments accordingly and reassess my escrow account immediately. I understand that a cushion must be maintained; however, I believe that my monthly escrow could be reduced which would reduce my monthly mortgage payment.<\/p>\n<p>Please govern yourselves accordingly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">VTY &#8211; Karen Bargery Ross<br \/>\nEnclosures (1) BCPA Printout; (2) Millage Rate Chart; and (3) Current Statement for Reference<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">____________<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">On June 22, 2009, the subject mortgage company of my investment property advised me by letter that\u00a0they were completing an escrow analysis and that\u00a0I would hear from them forthwith. Shortly thereafter, I received my escrow analysis printout with a statement that I was entitled to a $1,040.99 refund from the surplus.\u00a0 As an added bonus to the check that I received, my next statement reflected a reduction in my monthly payment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I am still awaiting a response and refund from my home mortgage.\u00a0 The company wrote me two letters that they were &#8220;working on it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Even though I would have received a surplus at year&#8217;s end, it was a nice pick-me-up to\u00a0receive the refund and reduction at this time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Thank you, <strong>Irma<\/strong>, for your timely tweet.\u00a0 This is\u00a0just one more reason\u00a0that the EWM agents are on top of their game &#8212; and <strong>Irma Marquez<\/strong> is certainly an asset to her profession and to our Weston EWM office!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IRMA MARQUEZ: Broward County: The new 2009 estimated assessments are NOW online.
