Florida's tax amnesty runs from July 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010 and is an opportunity for taxpayers to voluntarily pay back taxes with NO penalty and reduced interest during a limited time period.  The amnesty period is intended to help taxpayers save money.

Taxes related to real estate that are eligible for the amnesty include; sales tax due when renting any type of living quarters for less than 6 month, and sales tax owed for renting a commercial property.

You can apply for the tax amnesty and find answers to your questions by visiting the State of Florida tax amnesty program page.

One of the links on MyFlorida.com is NOKR which is a non profit website where anyone can register themselves and the person that they want notified in case of an emergency. This free emergency contact system is designed to help local and state authorities should you or your family member become injured, missing, or deceased. The registration page allows those who are homeless to list homeless as the address in order to complete registration. The video is from a Detroit news station discussing the benefits of NOKR for law enforcement and emergency personnel.

Deland Florida tornado pictures

Clean up from the Christmas day Tornadoes is in full swing. The area had been blocked off for several days allowing only residents, news and government officials in. Today it as opened and I took a few pictures to show some of the damage and what is left of some of the mobile home parks.




The number reported said more than 200 residences were damaged in Orangewood, Fernwood and Rosewood mobile home parks. Of those, 52 were destroyed.


Most of the major damaged units have been cleared off site.

Temporary shelters have been set up for those who lost everything.
