Design review of new construction that may be built in the neighborhood will assist in maintaining aesthetic harmony. Further, for residents as well as income producing property owners, Miami-Dade County allows an ad valorem tax exemption for the rehabilitation of historic structures.<\/p>\n<p>If a nomination to the National Register of Historic Places were written for all or part of this proposed district, upon listing, the depreciable buildings would become eligible for a 20% Investment Tax Credit. The credit is applied against the owners\u2019 income tax liability when a \u201csubstantial\u201d rehabilitation of a building is undertaken. \u201c<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/www.ewmrealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/230\/files\/2008\/07\/1175223854.jpg\" alt=\"South Pacific Motel\" \/><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On my way to my new favorite area of town, Biscayne Park, I couldn\u2019t help but notice the flags floating from the lampposts.
