January 2023 Highlights
It was an honor to spend time with my fellow Constitutional Officers and participants of Martin Cares on Thursday, January 12.

Martin Cares is a program that offers the public a behind the scenes look at how Martin County government works. We each offered a brief description of our respective roles and responsibilities to serve the residents and business owners of Martin County.

On January 25, we had a great morning visiting once again with the realtors at Realty One Group Engage in Jensen Beach. Approximately 25 realtors attended to learn about new housing developments in Martin County, market trends and how to navigate our website.

On Wednesday, January 18, my team presented to 30 local CPAs who are members of the Florida Institute of CPAs Sailfish Chapter. The members earned continuing professional education credits for attending.

During the presentation, we shared a wide variety of topics and the CPAs asked really great questions to better serve their clients.

What's Coming Up
As a property owner in Florida, homestead exemption is one way to reduce the amount of real estate taxes you pay on your residential property. Please watch our newest educational video by clicking this link: Homestead Exemption Video

Just a reminder that the deadline to file for Homestead Exemption is March 1. There are two ways you can file. You can come into one of our three office locations (Stuart, Hobe Sound, Indiantown) or file online in the comfort of your home by scanning the QR code.
Our interactive Community Outreach Calendar is just that – really interactive!

Here you can find our upcoming presentations, community events we participated in, links to our informational articles, YouTube videos, and important mailings and dates.
On February 7, my team will be visiting the residents of Whispering Sound and the next day, on to De La Bahia Yacht Club.

We will share a variety of topics including market trends, new housing developments, Martin County facts, homestead exemption and more.

If you are a Homeowners Association in Martin County, I would enjoy the opportunity to present to your residents.
"We Value Martin!"
