Celebrity Property Tax Assessment: Jim Mandich

Ever wonder where to find college All American and 1972 perfect-season Dolphin tight end Jim Mandich when he's not doing color on tv? Well here're a couple of places to look for him.

The first is a home on the golf course in Miami Lakes:

Hey, Jim, are you living here? If you are, why don't you have a homestead exemption? If you'd had one since you bought the house, you'd be paying less than half the property taxes you're paying now; did you know that? Jim, if you actually are living here, email me and I'll help you apply for a homestead exemption to limit the increases in assessed value to 3% a year or less.




The second is a warehouse on 7/10 of an acre not too far from the house, which seems to have been a good investment, considering the difference between the purchase price and the County's estimate of current value:

Hey, Jim, call me if you want the taxes appealed in September 2008. Maybe your assessment will be more than market value! Check your TRIM notice the last week of August and see what you think. Or, better yet, call me and see what I think! Dan Weiss, 305-374-7850.

P.S. Belated congratulations on the perfect season. There'll never be another team like the '72 Dolphins. Take it from one who remembers when the AFL got its start!

P.P.S. Your birthday is July 30, 1948; mine's just one day later! Call me if you want to have a drink together during the summer to celebrate our birthdays. My treat, buddy!
