Town of Gulf Stream
246 Sea Road
Gulf Stream, F1. 33444
Attn: Mrs. Barbara Gwynn, Assistant Town Clerk
Gentlemen:
Reference your letter of June 1st regarding potential road damage to
the Town of Gulf Stream please be advised that the Agreement this Club
has with Central Florida Turf warrants that Central Florida Turf will
"1. Repair any damage to Gulf Stream Roads and right of
way or any property adjacent thereto or to water or
sewer lines or power lines, such repairs to beumade
immediately upon their detection.
2. Cleaning daily any spillage of soil or debris.
3. Maintain moderate speed of all work vehicles while on
Golf View Road.
4. Restrict loaded vehicles on Golf View Road to an 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. schedule.
Mr. Floyd, Chairman of the Green Committee, has indicated it is extremely
doubtful that the contractor would agree to pay for road damage in lieu
of repairing same and does not feel that he should approach the contractor
with that idea.
I might mention that we have taken special precaution by the employment
of an engineer who represents an insurance company to recommend to us
procedures which we intend to follow to reduce any possible problem
that might occur.
JWB:af
You very truly,

AUTHORIZATION OF AND CERTIFICATION
CONCERNING OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds, the Mayor of the Town of Gulf
Stream will furnish his certificate to the effect that, to the best of his
knowledge, the Official Statement, as of its date and as of the date of delivery
of the Bonds, does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and does
not omit to state a material fact which should be included therein for the
purpose for which the Official Statement is to be used, or which is necessary to
make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading.
MISCELLANEOUS
All forecasts, estimates and other statements in this Official Statement
involving matters of opinion, whether or not expressly so stated, are intended as
such and not as representations of fact. This Official Statement is not intended
to be construed as a contract or agreement between the Town and the purchasers or
holders of any of the Bonds.
The execution and delivery of this Official Statement by its Mayor has been
duly authorized by the Board of Town Commissioners.
TOWN OF GULF STREAM, FLORIDA
By: /s/ William F. Koch, Jr.
Mayor

BOND RATING
As noted on the cover page of this Official Statement, Standard and Poor's
Corporation has given the Bonds the rating of AAA (MBIA Insured). Such rating
reflects the views of Standard & Poor's and an explanation of the significance of
such rating may be obtained only from the rating agency furnishing the same.
There is no assurance that such rating may be continued for any given period of
time or that it will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by such rating
agency, if in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision
or withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of
the Bonds.
PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL REFERENDUM
A petition for an amendment to the Florida Constitution limiting revenues of
the State of Florida and taxing units thereof for future fiscal years has
received sufficient signatures to have the proposed amendment placed on the
ballot in November, 1984.
The proposed constitutional amendment provides that revenues received by the
State of Florida and each taxing unit thereof for each fiscal period would be
limited to 1980 -81 revenue dollars plus ad valorem taxes on subsequent new
construction and annual adjustments of two- thirds of the Consumer Price Index
percentage change. In addition, the maximum annual adjustment increase for ad
valorem taxes would be 5 percent. The proposed amendment defines revenues as ad
valorem taxes, other taxes and all other receipts; receipts of agencies and
instrumentalities and proprietary and trust funds are included in the revenues of
the State or other taxing units as appropriate.
Revenue limits may be exceeded only with voter approval for specified
purposes; amounts and periods. Since the proposed amendment specifically states
that revenue limits may be "exceeded to the extent necessary to avoid impairment
of obligations of contracts and bonds" existing on the effective date of the
proposed amendment, the Town does not expect that its ability to make payments to
the Holders of the Bonds would be adversely affected by the proposed amendment.
On March 27, 1984, the Supreme Court of the State of Florida held that the
proposed constitutional amendment must be removed from the November, 1984
election ballot. The proponents of the proposed constitutional amendment have
filed suit in Federal Court seeking relief from the Florida Supreme Court's
decision. Also they have indicated they will redraft the proposed amendment to
comply with the Supreme Court decision and will attempt to have petitions signed
by a sufficient number of voters in time to have the amendment placed on the
November, 1984 ballot. In order to appear on the ballot there must be filed with
the Secretary of State for the State of Florida at least 90 days before the
election a petition containing a copy of the proposed amendment signed by a
number of voters in each of one half of the congressional districts in the State,
and of the State as a whole, equal to 8% of the votes cast in each of such
districts and the State as a whole in the last preceding election in which
presidential electors were chosen.
In addition, there is no assurance that other amendments of a similar nature
and effect will not be proposed for the November, 1984 election or any time
thereafter.

Chapter 220, Florida Statutes, on interest, income or profits on debt obligations
owned by corporations.

threatened to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale, execution or delivery of the

Gulf Stream's growth rate should continue to increase at a diminishing rate.
This projection is due primarily to its relatively low capacity for potential
growth. The amount of vacant land available for future development repre-
sents approximately 13% of the total land area, and the types of housing
development allowed under the existing zoning mostly permits low density
development.
A major portion of the population in Gulf Stream is in the upper age groups.
Thirty eight percent of the population is contained in the age category of 65
years or older. This is typical of many communities in Palm Beach County.
School age children and people of younger parental age are extremely small in
number when compared to the County.

Transportation
Several major airlines serve the Town through the Palm Beach
International Airport, twenty minutes north of the Town in West Palm
Beach, the Fort Lauderdale - Hollywood Airport, forty minutes south, and
the Miami International Airport, a little over an hour's drive south of
the Town. Lantana Airport, located five miles north of the Town, is a
general aviation airport open to any non - commercial, non -jet aircraft
and facilities include charter service, rental aircraft, flying school
and repair and fuel facilities for small aircraft. Nearby Boca Raton
Airport also offers non - commercial services.
The Port of Palm Beach offers facilities for ocean transportation and
barge transportation on the Intracoastal Waterway. Types of cargo
handled at the port include cement, fuel oil, molasses and other
general cargo.
Passenger rail service to all major cities is provided by Amtrak and
freight service is provided by the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad. Bus
transportation is provided by Greyhound Bus Lines in Boynton Beach for
long distance transportation, and local bus service is provided by
the Palm Beach County Transportation Authority. This system permits
riders to go from the northern portion of the county to Boca Raton, the
southernmost city of Palm Beach County.
Road and highway facilities are also excellent. State Road AIA passes
through the heart of the Town. The Florida Turnpike, about six miles
west of the Town, provides transportation to the north central part of
the state and as far south as the entrance to the Florida Keys. Inter
state 95 passes west of the Town in Boynton Beach and provides
close -in alternative north -south transportation through the Town and
throughout other areas of the southeastern coast of Florida.
Economy
The community characteristics of the Town depict a mature wealthy community
characterized by professionals and retired persons.
Per capita income is very high in Gulf Stream. As per the most recent
Revenue Sharing data, per capita annual income in Gulf Stream is estimated at
$40,314. This reveals that the Town has a per capita income considerably
higher than the Palm Beach County mean of $8,903. Gulf Stream has one of the
highest per capita incomes of all the municipalities in the County. This is
coupled with a high increase in per capita income between 1970 and 1980.
Population
The population growth in Gulf Stream has run concurrent with that of Palm
Beach County and the State of Florida. Although the Town did not experience
the extreme growth typical of the County during the 1950's, its cumulative
growth rate in the previous three decades reflects the advances made County-
wide. However, Gulf Stream's present growth rate (1970 -1980) is increasing
at a diminishing rate.

Disposition of Tax Collections
Florida Statutes require Palm Beach County to distribute to each taxing
authority the taxes collected at the rate of four times during the first two
months after the tax roll becomes due and once per month thereafter.
Upon receipt, the moneys representing debt service are to be credited to the
Town debt service fund, a special accounting fund created and maintained pursuant
to Florida Statutes and the resolution authorizing the Bonds. Debt service
millage over and above millage limitations fixed by the Florida Constitution is
authorized only for the payment of general obligation bonds, and any diversion of
such tax collections to a purpose other than payment of the voted general
obligation bonds would violate the Florida Constitution. Consistent with the
above, the resolution authorizing the Bonds provides that the proceeds of all
such taxes levied for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds
shall be deposited by the Town in a special fund known as the Sinking Fund and
used solely for the payments of principal and interest on the Bonds.
Summary
The above constitutes a summary of the applicable provisions of tax statutes
generally appearing in the Florida Statutes, but is qualified in its entirety by
reference to such statutes themselves. An investment decision with respect to
the Bonds should be based upon an actual reading of such statutes and upon
appropriate legal advice.
52
Tax Collection
All taxes are due and payable on November 1 of each year. The Palm Beach
County Tax Collector has the duty of collecting all county, municipal and
district taxes, which taxes become delinquent on April 1 following the year in
which they are assessed. A discount is allowed to the taxpayer for early payment
of his taxes as follows:
4% if paid in November
3% if paid in December
2% if paid in January
1% if paid in February
Taxes Delinquent
All unpaid taxes upon real and personal property become delinquent on April
1 of the year following the year in which the taxes were assessed. Real property
tax certificates bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum from that date until
a tax certificate is sold, after which the interest is as bid by the buyer. If
no tax certificate has been sold, the tax certificate is held by the County, and
the County may apply for a tax deed. Personal property taxes bear interest at
18% per annum from April 1 until paid or barred under Chapter 95 of the Florida
Statutes. All taxes imposed pursuant to the Constitution and Laws of Florida are
a first lien on the property aginst which taxes have been assessed.
Tax Certificates
The Tax Collector advertises once each week for four weeks before June 1 of
each year and sells tax certificates on all real property taxes due. At the time
designated in the advertisement, the Tax Collector commences the sale of tax
certificates on such real property for an amount equal to the unpaid taxes,
interest, costs, and charges thereon at the lowest rate of interest.
Tax Deeds
At any time after two years have elapsed since April 1 of the year of the
issuance of the tax certificate and before the expiration of seven years, the
holder may apply for a tax deed. Two years after such April 1, the County must
make application for a tax deed. Upon receipt of such applications a public sale
is advertised and held unless the property is redeemed.
Redemption of Land by Owners
Redemption may be made by the owner of any land upon which a tax certificate
has been sold. The owner may redeem the land at any time before a tax deed is
issued by paying to the Tax Collector the amount of the certificate plus all
taxes, interest, costs, charges, and omitted taxes from the date of the
certificate to the date of redemption.

Property Valuation and Assessments
Section 4 of Article VII of the Constitution of the State of Florida
provides that "By general law regulations shall be prescribed which shall secure
a just valuation of all real property for ad valorem taxation." The factors
considered in arriving at a just valuation, as .set forth in Section 193.011,
Florida Statutes, are:
(1) the present cash value of the property;
(2) the highest and best use to which the
put in the immediate future and the
(3
(4
(5
(6)
(7)
(8)
the location of the property;
the quantity or size of the property;
the cost of the property and the
improvements thereon;
the condition of the property;
the income from the property; and,
property can be expected to be
present use of the property;
present replacement value of any
the net proceeds of the sale of the property.
All real property in the County is assessed at 100% of the just value by the
Palm Beach County Property Appraiser, who is required to complete an assessment,
as of January 1 of each year, of the value of all real property in the County no
later than July 1 of each year. He is required to inspect physically the real
property every three years to determine its just value.
Homestead Exemption
Every person who has the legal title or beneficial title in equity to real
property in the State and who resides thereon and in good faith makes the same
his or her permanent residence, or the permanent residence of another or others
legally or naturally dependent upon such person, is entitled to an exemption from
all taxation, except for assessments for special benefits, up to the assessed
valuation of $25,000 on the residence and contiguous real property. An
additional exemption of $10,000 is granted to such persons who are over 65 years
of age.
Tangible personal property is assessed at its just value.
Tax Levy
Florida law limits ad valorem tax millage levies for cities to 10 mills,
except additional taxes may be levied as required for debt service upon approval
of the electors.
The Town's total millage levy for its fiscal year beginning October 1, 1983,
is 4.7174 mills.
M, 1:
4. Maintenance and improvement of the Town's canals at a cost of $97,000,
which represents approximately 30% of the cost of the project. The
remainder of the cost will be paid by property owners directly abutting
the canals to be improved.
These projects shall include other purposes appurtenant or incidental
thereto, including costs and expenses associated with the issuance and sale of
the Bonds.
SECURITY
The full faith, credit and taxing power of the Town are irrevocably pledged
for the prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. In each
year while any of the Bonds are outstanding there shall be levied and collected a
tax, without limitation as to rate or amount, on all taxable property within the
Town, over and above all other taxes, sufficient to pay into the Sinking Fund the
Bond Service Requirement as the same shall become due. Such tax shall be
assessed, levied and collected in the same manner as other Town taxes.
AD VALOREM TAX PROCEDURES
Budget Process
The annual budget process is conducted within the policy and management
framework established by Gulf Stream's Town Commissioners. In the early Spring,
the Board adopts a basic budget policy. During the next four months, the budget
is being prepared and reviewed. The Town sets forth capital improvements to be
made.
On or before July 15 of each year, the Town Manager, as the Board of Town
Commissioners' designated Budget Officer, submits to the Board a tentative budget
for the ensuing fiscal year. The tentative budget includes proposed expenditures
and the means of financing them. The Board requires such changes to be made as
it deems necessary, provided that the budget remains in balance.
Anytime after July 15, but prior to September 30, the Board certifies to the
County Property Appraiser the millage rates to be shown on the Notices of

AUTHORIZATION OF AND CERTIFICATION
CONCERNING OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds, the Mayor of the Town of Gulf
Stream will furnish his certificate to the effect that, to the best of his
knowledge, the Official Statement, as of its date and as of the date of delivery
of the Bonds, does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and does
not omit to state a material fact which should be included therein for the
purpose for which the Official Statement is to be used, or which is necessary to
make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading.
MISCELLANEOUS
All forecasts, estimates and other statements in this Official Statement
involving matters of opinion, whether or not expressly so stated, are intended as
such and not as representations of fact. This Official Statement is not intended
to be construed as a contract or agreement between the Town and the purchasers or
holders of any of the Bonds.
The execution and delivery of this Official Statement by its Mayor has been
duly authorized by the Board of Town Commissioners.
TOWN OF GULF STREAM, FLORIDA

BOND RATING
As noted on the cover page of this Official Statement, Standard and poor's
Corporation has given the Bonds the rating of AAA (MBIA Insured). Such rating
reflects the views of Standard & Poor's and an explanation of the significance of
such rating may be obtained only from the rating agency furnishing the same.
There is no assurance that such rating may be continued for any given period of
time or that it will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by such rating
agency, if in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision
or withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of
the Bonds.
PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL REFERENDUM
A petition for an amendment to the Florida Constitution limiting revenues of
the State of Florida and taxing units thereof for future fiscal years has
received sufficient signatures to have the proposed amendment placed on the
ballot in November, 1984.
The proposed constitutional amendment provides that revenues received by the
State of Florida and each taxing unit thereof for each fiscal period would be
limited to 1980 -81 revenue dollars plus ad valorem taxes on subsequent new
construction and annual adjustments of two- thirds of the Consumer Price Index
percentage change. In addition, the maximum annual adjustment increase for ad
valorem taxes would be 5 percent. The proposed amendment defines revenues as ad
valorem taxes, other taxes and all other receipts; receipts of agencies and
instrumentalities and proprietary and trust funds are included in the revenues of
the State or other taxing units as appropriate.
Revenue limits may be exceeded only with voter approval for specified
purposes, amounts and periods. Since the proposed amendment specifically states
that revenue limits may be "exceeded to the extent necessary to avoid impairment
of obligations of contracts and bonds" existing on the effective date of the
proposed amendment, the Town does not expect that its ability to make payments to
the Holders of the Bonds would be adversely affected by the proposed amendment.
On March 27, 1984, the Supreme Court of the State of Florida held that the
proposed constitutional amendment must be removed from the November, 1984
election ballot. The proponents of the proposed constitutional amendment have
filed suit in Federal Court seeking relief from the Florida Supreme Court's
decision. Also they have indicated they will redraft the proposed amendment to
comply with the Supreme Court decision and will attempt to have petitions signed
by a sufficient number of voters in time to have the amendment placed on the
November, 1984 ballot. In order to appear on the ballot there must be filed with
the Secretary of State for the State of Florida at least 90 days before the
election a petition containing a copy of the proposed amendment signed by a
number of voters in each of one half of the congressional districts in the State,
and of the State as a whole, equal to 8% of the votes cast in each of such
districts and the State as a whole in the last preceding election in which
presidential electors were chosen.
In addition, there is no assurance that other amendments of a similar nature
and effect will not be proposed for the November, 1984 election or any time
thereafter.

UNDERWRITING
The Underwriter has agreed to purchase the bonds from the Town at an aggre-
gate discount of $46,200 from the initial public offering prices set forth on the
cover page of this Official Statement. The Underwriter will be obligated to
purchase all the Bonds if any are purchased. Following the initial public
offering, the public offering prices may be changed from time to time by the
Underwriter.
The Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers (including underwriters
and other dealers depositing such Bonds into investment trusts) and others at
prices lower than such public offering prices.
VALIDATION
The Bonds were validated by judgment of the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth
Judicial Circuit of Florida in and for Palm Beach County, rendered on May 18,
1984, and the time for taking an appeal therefrom will expire on June 18, 1984.
LEGALITY
Legal matters incident to the validity of the Bonds including their authori-
zation, issuance and sale by the Town are subject to the approval of Livermore,
Klein & Lott, P.A., Jacksonville, Florida, Bond Counsel, whose approving opinion
will be available at the time of delivery of the Bonds. Certain other legal
matters will be passed on for the Town by their attorneys Johnston, Sasser,
Randolph & Weaver, West Palm Beach, Florida. Certain legal matters, but not
approval or authorization of the Bonds or their tax - exempt status will be passed
on for the underwriters by their counsel, DeSantis, Cook, Gaskill & Silverman,
North Palm Beach, Florida.
TAX EXEMPTION
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, the interest on the Bonds is exempt from all
present Federal income taxation, and the Bonds and the income thereon are exempt
from taxation under Florida law, except as to estate taxes and taxes imposed by
Chapter 220, Florida Statutes, on interest, income or profits on debt obligations
owned by corporations.
LITIGATION
In the opinion of the Town Attorney, no legal proceedings are pending or
threatened which materially affect the Town's ability to perform its obligations
to the holders of the Bonds or materially affect the financial condition of the
Town.
There is no litigation or controversy of any nature now pending or
threatened to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale, execution or delivery of the
Bonds or in any way contesting the validity of the Bonds or any proceedings of
the Town taken with respect to the authorization, sale or issuance of said Bonds
or the pledge or application of any money provided for the payment of the Bonds
or having any significant effect upon the receipts of the ad valorem taxes
pledged as security for the Bonds.

Gulf Stream's growth rate should continue to increase at a diminishing rate.
This projection is due primarily to its relatively low capacity for potential
growth. The amount of vacant land available for future development repre-
sents approximately 13% of the total land area, and the types of housing
development allowed under the existing zoning mostly permits low density
development.
A major portion of the population in Gulf Stream is in the upper age groups.
Thirty eight percent of the population is contained in the age category of 65
years or older. This is typical of many communities in Palm Beach County.
School age children and people of younger parental age are extremely small in
number when compared to the County.

Transportation
Several major airlines serve the Town through the Palm Beach
International Airport, twenty minutes north of the Town in West Palm
Beach, the Fort Lauderdale - Hollywood Airport, forty minutes south, and
the Miami International Airport, a little over an hour's drive south of
the Town. Lantana Airport, located five miles north of the Town, is a
general aviation airport open to any non - commercial, non -jet aircraft
and facilities include charter service, rental aircraft, flying school
and repair and fuel facilities for small aircraft. Nearby Boca Raton
Airport also offers non - commercial services.
The Port of Palm Beach offers facilities for ocean transportation and
barge transportation on the Intracoastal Waterway. Types of cargo
handled at the port include cement, fuel oil, molasses and other
general cargo.
Passenger rail service to all major cities is provided by Amtrak and
freight service is provided by the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad. Bus
transportation is provided by Greyhound Bus Lines in Boynton Beach for
long distance transportation, and local bus service is provided by
the Palm Beach County Transportation Authority. This system permits
riders to go from the northern portion of the county to Boca Raton, the
southernmost city of Palm Beach County.
Road and highway facilities are also excellent. State Road AlA passes
through the heart of the Town. The Florida Turnpike, about six miles
west of the Town, provides transportation to the north central part of
the state and as far south as the entrance to the Florida Keys. Inter
state 95 passes west of the Town in Boynton Beach and provides
close -in alternative north -south transportation through the Town and
throughout other areas of the southeastern coast of Florida.
Economy
The community characteristics of the Town depict a mature wealthy community
characterized by professionals and retired persons.
Per capita income is very high in Gulf Stream. As per the most recent
Revenue Sharing data, per capita annual income in Gulf Stream is estimated at
$40,314. This reveals that the Town has a per capita income considerably
higher than the Palm Beach County mean of $8,903. Gulf Stream has one of the
highest per capita incomes of all the municipalities in the County. This is
coupled with a high increase in per capita income between 1970 and 1980.
Population
The population growth in Gulf Stream has run concurrent with that of Palm
Beach County and the State of Florida. Although the Town did not experience
the extreme growth typical of the County during the 1950's, its cumulative
growth rate in the previous three decades reflects the advances made County-
wide. However, Gulf Stream's present growth rate (1970 -1980) is increasing
at a diminishing rate.

Disposition of Tax Collections
Florida Statutes require Palm Beach County to distribute to each taxing
authority the taxes collected at the rate of four times during the first two
months after the tax roll becomes due and once per month thereafter.
Upon receipt, the moneys representing debt service are to be credited to the
Town debt service fund, a special accounting fund created and maintained pursuant
to Florida Statutes and the resolution authorizing the Bonds. Debt service
millage over and above millage limitations fixed by the Florida Constitution is
authorized only for the payment of general obligation bonds, and any diversion of
such tax collections to a purpose other than payment of the voted general
obligation bonds would violate the Florida Constitution. Consistent with the
above, the resolution authorizing the Bonds provides that the proceeds of all
such taxes levied for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds
shall be deposited by the Town in a special fund known as the Sinking Fund and
used solely for the payments of principal and interest on the Bonds.
Summary
The above constitutes a summary of the applicable provisions of tax statutes
generally appearing in the Florida Statutes, but is qualified in its entirety by
reference to such statutes themselves. An investment decision with respect to
the Bonds should be based upon an actual reading of such statutes and upon
appropriate legal advice.
Tax Collection
All taxes are due and payable on November 1 of each year. The Palm Beach
County Tax Collector has the duty of collecting all county, municipal and
district taxes, which taxes become delinquent on April 1 following the year in
which they are assessed. A discount is allowed to the taxpayer for early payment
of his taxes as follows:
4% if paid in November
3% if paid in December
2% if paid in January
1% if paid in February
Taxes Delinquent
All unpaid taxes upon real and personal property become delinquent on April
1 of the year following the year in which the taxes were assessed. Real property
tax certificates bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum from that date until
a tax certificate is sold, after which the interest is as bid by the buyer. If
no tax certificate has been sold, the tax certificate is held by the County, and
the County may apply for a tax deed. Personal property taxes bear interest at
18% per annum from April 1 until paid or barred under Chapter 95 of the Florida
Statutes. All taxes imposed pursuant to the Constitution and Laws of Florida are
a first lien on the property aginst which taxes have been assessed.
Tax Certificates
The Tax Collector advertises once each week for four weeks before June 1 of
each year and sells tax certificates on all real property taxes due. At the time
designated in the advertisement, the Tax Collector commences the sale of tax
certificates on such real property for an amount equal to the unpaid taxes,
interest, costs, and charges thereon at the lowest rate of interest.
Tax Deeds
At any time after two years have elapsed since April 1 of the year of the
issuance of the tax certificate and before the expiration of seven years, the
holder may apply for a tax deed. Two years after such April 1, the County must
make application for a tax deed. Upon receipt of such applications a public sale
is advertised and held unless the property is redeemed.
Redemption of Land by Owners
Redemption may be made by the owner of any land upon which a tax certificate
has been sold. The owner may redeem the land at any time before a tax deed is
issued by paying to the Tax Collector the amount of the certificate plus all
taxes, interest, costs, charges, and omitted taxes from the date of the
certificate to the date of redemption.

Property Valuation and Assessments
Section 4 of Article VII of the Constitution of the State of Florida
provides that "By general law regulations shall be prescribed which shall secure
a just valuation of all real property for ad valorem taxation." The factors
considered in arriving at a just valuation, as set forth in Section 193.011,
Florida Statutes, are:
(1) the present cash value of the property;
(2) the highest and best use to which the
put in the immediate future and the
(3)
(4)
(5)
6)
7)
8)
the location of the property;
the quantity or size of the property;
the cost of the property and the
improvements thereon;
the condition of the property;
the income from the property; and,
property can be expected to be
present use of the property;
present replacement value of any
the net proceeds of the sale of the property.
All real property in the County is assessed at 100% of the just value by the
Palm Beach County Property Appraiser, who is required to complete an assessment,
as of January 1 of each year, of the value of all real property in the County no
later than July 1 of each year. He is required to inspect physically the real
property every three years to determine its just value.
Homestead Exemption
Every person who has the legal title or beneficial title in equity to real
property in the State and who resides thereon and in good faith makes the same
his or her permanent residence, or the permanent residence of another or others
legally or naturally dependent upon such person, is entitled to an exemption from
all taxation, except for assessments for special benefits, up to the assessed
valuation of $25,000 on the residence and contiguous real property. An
additional exemption of $10,000 is granted to such persons who are over 65 years
of age.
Tangible personal property is assessed at its just value.
Tax Levy
Florida law limits ad valorem tax millage levies for cities to 10 mills,
except additional taxes may be levied as required for debt service upon approval
of the electors.
The Town's total millage levy for its fiscal year beginning October 1, 1983,
is 4.7174 mills.
-4-
4. Maintenance and improvement of the Town's canals at a cost of $97,000,
which represents approximately 30% of the cost of the project. The
remainder of the cost will be paid by property owners directly abutting
the canals to be improved.
These projects shall include other purposes appurtenant or incidental
thereto, including costs and expenses associated with the issuance and sale of
the Bonds.
SECURITY
The full faith, credit and taxing power of the Town are irrevocably pledged
for the prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. In each
year while any of the Bonds are outstanding there shall be levied and collected a
tax, without limitation as to rate or amount, on all taxable property within the
Town, over and above all other taxes, sufficient to pay into the Sinking Fund the
Bond Service Requirement as the same shall become due. Such tax shall be
assessed, levied and collected in the same manner as other Town taxes.
AD VALOREM TAX PROCEDURES
Budget Process
The annual budget process is conducted within the policy and management
framework established by Gulf Stream's Town Commissioners. In the early Spring,
the Board adopts a basic budget policy. During the next four months, the budget
is being prepared and reviewed. The Town sets forth capital improvements to be
made.
On or before July 15 of each year, the Town Manager, as the Board of Town
Commissioners' designated Budget Officer, submits to the Board a tentative budget
for the ensuing fiscal year. The tentative budget includes proposed expenditures
and the means of financing them. The Board requires such changes to be made as
it deems necessary, provided that the budget remains in balance.
Anytime after July 15, but prior to September 30, the Board certifies to the
County Property Appraiser the millage rates to be shown on the Notices of
Property Taxes, which are mailed to each taxpayer prior to public hearings held
for the Board to adopt the tentative and final budgets. Budgetary preparation,
notices, public hearings, and adoption are subject to Chapters 129 and 200 of the
Florida Statutes.
Prior to October 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of a
resolution. After this, all changes to the final budget must be approved by the
Board in accordance with Section 129.06 of the Florida Statutes. There is
a process of review of appropriations and expenditures by the budget office and
weekly monitoring to check incoming revenues against the budgeted revenues.
Budgeting is used by management to monitor and evaluate programs and
functional activities during the year for all funds of the Board. Budgets for
the Governmental Fund Types are adopted on a basis consistent with generally
accepted accounting principals.
