| Item Title: | Homestead Exemption Audit Program | | Date: | 9/25/2017 | | Department: | County Attorney |
|
| | | | | | | | | Background: | | The Nassau County Property Appraiser's office is working on an initiative to perform an audit on the entire county tax roll in an effort to ensure that all recipients of homestead exemptions are legitimate. In order to conduct this audit, other property appraisers are using third-party vendors to do a mass "big-data" exercise to identify potential cases of fraud. If cases of potential fraud are identified, the vendor would have the Property Appraiser's staff review each case to determine if actual fraud were present. If the District chooses to participate in this audit, a three-party Interlocal Agreement would need to be executed between the Nassau County Board of County Commissioners, the Nassau County Tax Collector, and the Nassau County Property Appraiser. | | Request: | Approve and authorize the Chairman to sign a three-party Interlocal Agreement, Contract No. CM2469, between the Nassau County Board of County Commissioners, the Nassau County Tax Collector, and the Nassau County Property Appraiser, regarding participation in a homestead exemption audit program.
