If Trump claims that his property is worth $1.8 Billion then:
Moskowitz calls to increase Mar-a-Lago property taxes after Trump claims it's worth $1.8B
A Florida congressman is formally asking the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser to increase taxation on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate after the former president claimed it was worth nearly 100 times more than what it was cited in his civil fraud case.
On Thursday, Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Parkland)
sent a letter to the appraiser following Trump's comments that
Mar-a-Lago was worth about $1.8 billion while Judge Arthur Engoron cited that the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser actually valued the property to be between $18 million and $28 million, depending on the year between 2011 to 2021. In 2020, the county valued Mar-a-Lago at $27 million.
In the letter addressed to Property Appraiser Dorothy Jacks, Moskowitz cited Engoron's ruling and Trump's Truth Social post that claimed Mar-a-Lago was in fact worth "100 times" the amount the judge ruled in the former president's civil fraud case.
Moskowitz also shared a tweet from Trump's son Eric, who echoed the former president's comments.
The Democratic congressman's letter comes after the former president said his Florida estate was greatly undervalued.
