Dear Conference Attendees,
I want to extend a warm welcome to Osceola County! I have had the privilege of growing up in Osceola County and all that it offers, from tourism to agriculture, and I have had the honor of being the Osceola County Property Appraiser for the past 13 years. Osceola County is named after a respected Native American leader named Osceola and is rich in history. For a taste of Osceola County’s history, I recommend visiting the Osceola County Welcome Center and History Museum. My team gathered additional information regarding eateries, grocery options, and attractions. I encourage you to take some time to explore our county. Osceola County is on the rise. Our county has grown significantly in the past ten years, with a 25% increase in total parcels and accounts. We currently have 218,896 total parcels and 27,950 TPP Accounts. Our total market value is $61.4 billion, with $580 million in total property taxes levied. Based on percentage growth in our country, Osceola County is one of the fastest-growing counties, with a population of 403,282 according to the 2021 US Census Bureau.
I hope you enjoy your stay in Osceola County. Thank you for visiting!
Sincerely,
Katrina S. Scarborough, CFA, CCF, MCF

this year. The FCIAAO Executive Board is incredibly pleased
to be able to welcome those of you that have been attending for
many years and those who are new to group. The goal each year
is to put on this seminar and make it better than the last. Your
TPP Steering Committee has done an outstanding job, as they
always do, bringing you timely and relevant topics as well as
original content. The Excel for TPP workshop is an excellent
example of the commitment your committee has to this group
to provide tools you can take back to your office and utilize in
your daily work. The FCIAAO Executive Board commends this
committee for its hard work and dedication to this field. So, I
hope you enjoy the next couple of days and if you have any

2022-2023 TPP STEERING COMMITTEE
December 5, 2022
Dear FCIAAO 2022 TPP Seminar Participant,
On behalf of the Florida Chapter of the IAAO and our TPP Steering Committee, we would like to welcome you to our 2022 TPP Seminar. This year we have returned to the Embassy Suites Hotel and hope you enjoy not only our programs and educational offerings, but the hotel amenities as well. If you are staying at the hotel, breakfast is included in your room rate. Parking is $7.00 per day for all attendees. If you are commuting to the Seminar, you may pay during a break or at the end of the day. The hotel restaurant is open for dinner each evening only, so we have included a list of nearby restaurants (full service and fast food), some in walking distance, in the program. The list also includes supermarkets, drug stores, convenience stores, service stations and even quick care facilities. For those that may be looking for something to do at night, there is a list of non-theme park activities. All attendees are invited to our opening night cocktail party hosted by the Florida Chapter of the IAAO. Please do not forget to get your drink tickets Wednesday afternoon and then join us for drinks and hors d’oeuvres while you mingle with your fellow Seminar participants. There will be a drink break each morning and a drink/snack break each afternoon. There is also a special activity at the end of the opening session on Wednesday and we are looking for three mildly adventurous volunteers (no, TPP Jeopardy! is at the end of the day on Thursday). This year’s TPP Seminar promises to be a great one with many new (and some old) topics being discussed. Please look over the agenda and program for more details. You will not want to miss any of the sessions. We have industry experts, government agency representatives as well as members from our own ranks who will share their expertise with us. We have something for all levels of knowledge and experience. We invite anyone who is interested in presenting for the 2023 TPP Seminar to submit an RFP after the first of the year. None of this could happen without all of you who have chosen to participate and we thank you for your attendance and support. We hope you appreciate all of the hard work your TPP Steering Committee has put into this year’s program. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to speak with any of the Steering Committee members.
Thank you, again, and welcome to Kissimmee and the 2022 FCIAAO TPP Seminar.

VALUATION OF SERVICE STATIONS AND
2:30 PM TO 3:30 PM
CONVENIENCE STORES
Kevin Bradley, PPS, CFE
This presentation will be on how to navigate through the FDEP website, opening up the excel spreadsheet to find the facility ID, which will then lead to useful information on the gas station sites such as ownership, tank installations and removals. Next, we’ll discuss how gas stations can have multiple owners at one loca tion because of the convenience store, car wash, auto shop, or other businesses that are attached to it or col located with it. We’ll then cover the life expectancy of assets within a gas station such as tanks, pumps, store display equipment, POS, and signage. Next, information about gas station trends and how bigger companies like WAWA are talking over and buying out or eliminating small companies. The presentation will include visuals and other examples.
Kevin started his career with the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser as a Data Clerk in ADM in 2013. He worked his way up through Clerk II before transferring to the Tan gible Department in 2014. He became a TPP Appraiser 7 months later and moved up through the ranks, earning the PPS designation on January 11, 2020. He is only the third appraiser in the office to have earned the PPS. He is currently a Senior TPP Appraiser specializing in department stores, retail chains and supermarkets, but previously was the gas station specialist.

UNVEILING THE E - SALES THEORY
2:45 PM TO 3:45 PM
“ A TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY REDUCTION SCHEME ”
Jim Turner, CPA, President Turner Business Appraisers, Inc.
A new tangible personal property appraisal scheme was recently vetted in Courts in Florida and North Car olina. The presenter served as an expert witness on behalf of the County in a landmark case. During this timely presentation you will hear firsthand the facts, circumstances, and complexities which allowed “the eSales Theory” to make its way into the courts. Proponents promote that one can accurately appraise in stalled, operating, tangible personal property based upon the value garnered from “used comparable tangible personal property” either sold or “for sale” online via venues like eBay. This lively presentation will focus on the following: (1) Identification and examples of the deficiencies within the eSales theory; (2) When and how to accurately use the market approach to appraise TPP (3) How to successfully defend your assess ments against the eSales Theory (4) Identification of the proponents of the eSales Theory and the outcome of a Landmark court case. Jim is the founder and President of Turner Business Appraisers a strategic consulting firm that specializes in Business Valuations, Local Government Property Tax Audits, Small Business Mergers and Acquisitions, and Equipment Appraisals.

LEASING COMPANY ASSESSMENT
8:30 AM TO 9:30 AM
Trina Morrison, CFE, Sr. TPP Appraiser—Team Lead, Palm Beach Co. PAO
Valuing leased assets is no different than valuing those that are owned; however, complying with and inter preting Florida Statutes in assessing them has certain challenges. When are assets leased and when are they financed? How is the $25,000 exemption calculated for a company with assets all over the county? Who should report when a business leases an asset? Is there a difference between leasing from an IRS Federal tax perspective and that for TPP appraisal? All this and more will be discussed and reviewed.

She has been with the PAO for 23 years and has been the leasing specialist for over 20 years.

Please!

SOME FINAL REMARKS AND “ HOUSEKEEPING ”
Since check out time is 11:00 AM, we will take a break before the final session so everyone may check out and load their cars. If we are able to get a late check out for everyone, we will let you know. In order to get credit from either the DOR or IAAO, you will need the CE (continuing education) form. In order to receive this, in addition to being registered and paid for the Seminar or Excel Workshop, you will need to complete the on line Survey Monkey Evaluation. Everyone will be emailed the link to this, and once it is complete, the CE Form will be sent to you. We also have a drawing for a two-night stay for two at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Kissimmee, but you do need to be present at the second to last session on Friday. We have a program/app and we will assign a number to everyone who is registered. A number will be selected at random, and that person will win the future hotel stay. Again, you must be present to win. Organizing this Seminar is no small task, and it takes a lot of hard work on the part of everyone on your TPP Steering Committee as well as members of the FCIAAO Board. We will start planning for 2023 in Feb ruary, so if you have any suggestions or would like to present next year, please feel free to contact any of the members of the TPP Steering Committee. Our sincere thanks to everyone who participated in a presentation, to our host county, Osceola County Property Appraiser and to the FCIAAO Board for their help and support. Lastly, thank you to all those who attended and we hope to see you in 2023.
Safe travels, and we’ll see you in December 2023.
