The Hernando County Commission approved the Quarry Preserve project this week on a split vote. The Quarry Preserve, a 4,282 acre project located just north of Brooksville, will consist of nearly 6,000 residential homes, a business park and it’s very own school site.
Dubbed as a “new town”, The Quarry Preserve has been planned for nearly five years with state, local and regional planners in an effort to acknowledge every nook and cranny of the proposal. The need for additional residential structures in Hernando has been questioned as well as the water provisions for the development. The developer of the project has responded with a planned well field that would provide enough water for the project as well as additional water for Hernando County.
Many residents remain up in arms over the new development, with concerns over the struggling subdivisions currently standing that have not been built out. Many question the need for more housing throughout the county and the costs that would ensue. However, according to Jake Varn, representative for the developer, the agreement states that the developer must bring in a set amount of business in order to keep developing the residential parts of the project. In addition, the developer is paying for many of the infrastructure costs, including the $62 million set to widen US 98 from the Suncoast Parkway to Cobb Rd.

This past Saturday The Hernando County Association of Realtors volunteered at Operation Backpack. Two of our people from CENTURY 21 Alliance Realty were on hand to help. It was an amazing event for Hernando County’s children who otherwise may not have been able to get the school supplies they needed. The Hernando County Association of Realtors donated pencils, paper, notebooks, calculators and so much more. Hundreds of children received backpacks full of great stuff to get them started off on the right foot for this coming school year. Good luck to all of our Hernando County students! Check out some pictures of the event on the CENTURY 21 Alliance Realty Facebook page!

The sales tax holiday began in 1998 and for the last two years, due to a lean state budget, the tax holiday took a hiatus. The tax holiday will commence this weekend for three days only, as opposed to the week or more that the holiday would take place in the past.
The tax holiday will provide an opportunity to purchase items that are school related without having to pay state or local taxes on items that are priced at $50 or less. There are items that are not school related that are eligible to have taxes waived such as, wallets, purses and some shoes.
In Citrus County, school resumed last Monday, August 9, 2010, however in Hernando County, school will not begin again until Monday August 23, 2010!

Homeowners in Florida will start finding Notices of Annual Tax Assessments in their mailbox this month, providing an opportunity to appeal their property tax assessment. The Value Adjustment Board (VAB) notices will include three separate values for your home: assessed value, market value and taxable value.
Homeowners can appeal the market value of their home if they believe that the assessment is too high, which could result in having their property taxes lowered. There are some guidelines for homeowners that wish to appeal. For more information in the Hernando County area and Citrus County area visit the websites.
