T2404347- You’ve just found the beautiful classic Bungalow you’ve been dreaming about! This 1920’s built historic Seminole Heights bungalow has everything you could want and has been well maintained by each owner. Upon entry through the large sweeping front porch complete with swing you’ll immediately notice the gorgeous hardwood floors and traditional bungalow elements that make this style so attractive. Completely restored bathroom is adorable and detailed. Interior and exterior walls, doors, and trim have been restored by removing all old layers, sanding, sealing, and painted with environ friendly products. The metal roof adds energy savings and longevity to the life of the home. The home has been completely rewired, the A/C is 5 years old, the hot water heater was just replaced, and an annual termite bond for drywood and subs has been in place by the last two owners. Offered with all new light fixtures, wood-burning fireplace, lots of windows, large fenced and grassy backyard, walk-in kitchen pantry, reverse osmosis system in the kitchen, and surround sound system. Storage space beyond what the typical Bungalow offers and if you need more, there is easy attic access in the interior utility room or in the detached garage. CB AHS home warranty is available with a reasonable offer. Friendly dog-walking neighborhood to take a stroll around Lake Roberta. Great value!
How Property Taxes Are Pro-Rated in Tampa
January-August
Taxes are pro-rated based on the last available tax bill. Seller credits Buyer for his pre-rated portion from January 1 to the day of closing. Buyer (now the new owner) pays the bill when it comes out in November.
September-October
Taxes are collected from buyer based on last available tax bill plus 25% to be held until tax bill comes out. Seller credit buyer for his pro-rated portion from January 1 to the day of closing. When the tax bill comes out showing correct amount owed, the title company pays the bill and returns the overage to buyer (now the new owner).
November-December
Tax bills are out and taxes are payable.
1) If tax bill is posted as PAID: Buyer credits his pro-rated portion from teh day of closing to Dec 31.
2) If tax bill is posted as UNPAID & Seller’s taxes are NOT escrowed: Taxes are collected from the Seller. Buyer credits Seller his pro-rated portion from day of closing to Dec 31. Title Company sends payment to the Tax Collector.
3) If tax bill is posted as UNPAID and Seller’s taxes are ARE escrowed: Buyer credits Seller his pro-rated portion from the day of closing to Dec 31. Taxes are collected from the Seller but the Title Company holds money in escrow until tax bill is posted as “Paid”. Full escrowed amount is returned immediately to Seller.

There are three ways to contact the White House to request President Obama’s support for funding High-Speed Rail in Florida.
1. Call the White House at 202-456-1111 in support of Florida High Speed Rail. Leave a message of support for funding Florida High-Speed rail. Ask the President to provide $2.53 billion to fund construction of High Speed rail between Tampa and Orlando and start planning for Orlando to Miami. Tell the President that we need the jobs and that Florida is ready now to build America’s first High Speed rail system. For TTY/TDD (for hearing challenged) call 202-456-6213
2. Email the White House at www.whitehouse.gov/CONTACT/
You will need to complete a short form before leaving an email message. Here is a prepared message that you may wish to cut and paste onto the White House email page.
Dear Mr. President:
Please support Florida’s request for $2.53 billion to build High Speed rail between Tampa and Orlando and plan High Speed rail beteween Orlando and Miami. Florida is ready to build High Speed rail fast and create jobs fast. Tampa to Orlando is shovel ready. Florida estimates that construction of this segment alone will create 23,000 jobs and can be completed by 2014. With our unemployment over 12% and the construction industry unemployment at much higher rates, we need the jobs now, and can create them now. Plus the Governor and Florida Legislature just approved a new Florida Rail Enterprise Fund with strong bi-partisan support. This gives Florida a strong foundation for moving forward with High Speed rail, intercity rail and commuter rail in the 21st Century.
