Financial Information

Budgetary control of the operating budget is maintained at the department level by fund. This means that the overall appropriations for a department cannot be increased without Board approval; however, funds may be transferred administratively within a department by fund. This explains the emphasis in the operating budget document on departmental summaries classified by fund. These summaries are found at the beginning of each departmental section.

The operating budget is organized by function (i.e., Human Services, Public Works, Transportation, etc.) which coincides with the County departmental organization structure. The departments are separated into divisions, which represent discrete activities. Divisions are separated into sections, which represent a specific program or group of inter-related programs.

The division summaries depict historical cost information and adopted budget by type of costs (i.e., personal services, operating expenses, capital expenses, etc.) and total number of positions. Revenues attributed to a particular division are also presented. The division summaries also include significant budget comments such as basic appropriation changes and new services or enhancements.

The section summaries describe a specific program or inter-related programs. These pages include a statement regarding the goal of the program, a brief description of each program, performance measures, significant programmatic changes or changes in positions, and the funding and positions for each section.

In summary, the operating budget reflects a comprehensive decision-making document, which is designed to communicate to the reader a very clear picture of Broward County government; its programs, policies, and goals.

completed the three-year review of all commercial properties.

Unlike most Property Appraiser offices throughout the state, the BCPA continues to keep legal costs down by exclusively using in-house counsel to handle all Value Adjustment Board-related legal matters. This includes frequent representation of the office at Special Magistrate hearings, preparing evidence filings in key cases, drafting appeals to the full board, and representing the office at the monthly full board VAB meeting. In-house legal counsel actively participated in the Florida Department of Revenue's administrative rule-making process via online attendance to eliminate all travel costs. However, a majority of the BCPA General Counsels time is spent working directly with the public, responding to inquiries related to deeds, exemptions, and other legal questions related to the office. The General Counsel frequently assists the public with guidance as to correcting self-prepared quit claim deeds which compromised or eliminated exemptions on homesteaded properties.

BCPA began in 2009 using social networking websites -- including Facebook and Twitter -- to

expand our online outreach and public infor-mation activities at zero cost to taxpayers. BCPA also uses the offices www.bcpa.net website as an integrated part of our comprehensive public communications system to cost-effectively and timely convey important news to taxpayers.

External investigations conducted by the Department of Professional Standards and Compliance (DPSC) involve exemption fraud. DPSC conducts fraud investigations relating to all exemptions offered by the State of Florida. The bulk of investigations are relating to Homestead Exemption. In 2009, 9,867 cases were investigated by DPSC. Of the cases investigated, 5,669 were deemed to be fraud. If a case is deemed fraud, an exemption is removed and a corresponding back assessment may be applied. In 2010, 3,815 cases have been opened and to date; 1,923 have been deemed as fraud. Since 2005, DPSC has back assessed over $33,948,338 due to improper exemptions and the Broward County Records, Taxes and Treasury Division has collected over $22,586,620. DPSC closed the external warehouse and consolidated records for a cost savings of approximately $27,000.
