The most expensive ZIP codes in America

May 15th, 2007 8:37 AM

Just how tony is your neighborhood? Jupiter Island, Florida ranks No. 1 with a median home price of $5.6 million.

By Forbes

Although the list is dominated by California ZIP codes, the Gold Coast of Chicago (60611), where the median home price is $1.39 million, was a close runner-up, as was Purchase, N.Y. (10577), where the median home price came in at $1.348 million. Other New York runners-up include Rye (10580) in Westchester County and Sagaponack (11962) in the Hamptons, both of which ranked in the top 50; their median home prices were below $1 million, at $950,000 and $915,000, respectively.

It may be a consolation to 90210 residents that their ZIP code isn't the only famous one to be excluded: The 2002 median home price on Manhattan's Upper East Side (10021) was $727,500, and in Medina, Wash. (98039), it was $860,000, so neither of those reputably wealthy communities made it to the top.

Proposed Tax Reform

May 17th, 2007 2:01 PM

What You Should Know About the Proposed Tax Reform & Your State Taxes:

Some of our residents have asked questions regarding the proposed tax reform currently being considered at
the State level. The City is concerned with the proposal and feels that our residents will not be properly
serviced if the City must rely on the State to provide funding for local services. The following is information
about the Florida Sate House of Representatives’ proposal in an effort for our residents to be fully informed:

House Bill PCB PBC 07-01 Proposes:

• The City will lose a minimum of 11 million dollars a year in funding.

• City resources and services such as roadways, parks and recreation services, police, fire, utilities, local transportation,social services, senior services, and more will be either cut or the charge for such services will be significantly increased and will leave the City with no other recourse but to bill our valued
residents.

• Everyone, regardless of whether or not they are property owners or whether or not they live here, will pay an extra 2.5% sales tax on items purchased throughout the state. The State will have complete control over distribution of sales tax for the City and our residents and business partners. It will be left to the State to determine the financial needs of our community.

• The City of Hallandale Beach currently has one of the lowest taxes in the County with one of the highest levels of service. You will pay more in taxes on goods and services you purchase but will receive less from your local government which is currently
needed in our diverse and growing community.

• This will cause an increase in rents and expenses and a decrease in tourism and economic development.

• A 2/3 vote by the County Commission could add property taxes back on at any given time.

Let your voice be heard:

Contact the members of the Policy and Budget Council and your State Representative/Senator:
Chair: Rep. Ray Sansom- (850) 488-1170, www.myfloridahouse.gov
Vice Chair: Rep. Stan Mayfield- (850) 488-0952, www.myfloridahouse.gov
Democratic Ranking Member: Rep. John Seiler- (850) 488-0880, www.myfloridahouse.gov
House Majority Leader Marco Rubio- (850) 488-1450, www.myfloridahouse.gov
Senate President Ken Pruitt- (850) 487-5088, pruitt.ken.web@flsenate.gov
Senator Steven Geller- (850) 487-5097, geller.steven.web@flsenate.gov
Representative Joseph Gibbons- (850) 488-0145, www.myfloridahouse.gov
Contact all your Senate representatives at: www.flsenate.gov

Log On To The City’s Web Site To See Updates On The Proposed Tax Reform
The State has a projected $1 billion shortfall of revenues for this fiscal year. There will be tremendous pressure
on the State to balance this shortfall which could leave cities with less money to serve our community.

Services That May Be Cut Or Decreased:
• Police
• Fire
• Parks & Recreation
• Mini-Bus
• Senior Services
• Hepburn Center
• Family & Children Service
• Social Services
• Transportation Services
• And Other Programs That Impact Your Quality Of Life

Possible Fees That Impact Your Wallet:
• Fire Assessment Fee
• Inspections Fees
• Sanitation’s Fees
• Sewer Fees
• Permit Fees
• Occupational Licenses
• Water Fees

If It’s Sounds Too Good To Be True, It Probably Is!
