Who We Are: Live Local Act Filing Guidance in Jupiter
Our firm guides multifamily rental owners in Jupiter and across Palm Beach County through the Live Local Act property tax exemption. It is detailed paperwork kept on a shared calendar, so you always know what is due, who signs it and when you will hear from us next.
A Small Practice Built Around Deadlines
The Live Local Act exemption rewards owners who rent units at income levels set by the state, but the benefit only arrives if a chain of filings lands in the right order. Certification from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation comes first. The county application, form DR-504AFH, follows, and it carries a March 1 deadline that does not move. Miss a step and the exemption waits another year.
So we start every engagement by building the timeline backward from that date. You see which documents we need from you, when we need them, and how long each review usually takes. We give realistic windows rather than hopeful ones, because a property manager pulling rent rolls in late February is a manager under strain, and rushed files invite questions.
Engagements run from our office, with meetings by phone or video, so getting started never waits on a site visit. Our client list includes Coral Rock Development Group and Terra Group. An owner with one building and a single leasing office receives the same careful file and the same written schedule.
How We Work With You
A calendar on day one
Before anything is filed, you get a written schedule covering FHFC certification, the county filing and resident income verification. Each item names who is responsible and the date it is needed.
Updates when something shifts
Agencies send follow-up questions, and rent rolls change mid-year. When a date moves, we tell you what changed, what it affects and the new target. You should not have to chase us for news.
An honest eligibility answer
Some properties qualify for a full exemption, some for a partial one, and some not yet. The free eligibility check tells you which, based on your unit mix and the income limits that apply, with no pressure to go further.
Files you can reuse
We organize income certifications and supporting documents so annual recertification starts from a tidy record instead of a scramble. Ongoing compliance support is available if you want us keeping watch through the year.
Serving Property Owners Around Jupiter
We work with owners in Jupiter, Tequesta, Palm Beach Gardens, Juno Beach and North Palm Beach, and south through Riviera Beach, Lake Park and West Palm Beach. Owners in Jupiter Farms, Mangonia Park and Hobe Sound reach us the same way, by phone or video. Because the county application goes to the property appraiser where your parcel sits, we confirm which office handles your filing at the very first conversation, so the schedule is built around the right deadline from the start.
