oh wow, i didn't know it was painted beige. i figured white was going to be the final coat since the color is so prominent in that area. i haven't been to seaside since the summer before last.

By having the emboldened part in his statement above SHELLY makes it so he can't be wrong. Obviously there is some reason that it isn't finished yet, or else it would be finished. Possible example : Maybe the guy just likes seeing it in process, hence that would be a personal benefit.

The statement was made in response to someone who said one of the reasons it's taking so long to build is because of the individually structured metal door and window frames :roll:

I had the property appraiser at one of my jobs 2 days ago that was pre-C.O. Once you get to a certain point in construction the County can probably begin taxing the improvement.

It doesn't make math sense for a multi-million dollar project to move slowly so that the property taxes don't get raised. I know Shelly's usually correct, but Shelly's wrong about this one. Mr. Hilton can finish his home anytime he feels like it. He's got the manpower and cash.

Then do tell how much Hilton is paying for taxes on this beachside confection?

...while you're at it, what's he paying for his present homestead property?

Exactly what he wants to pay.

By the way, the grapevine says the Hilton House may be preparing for occupancy as early as February?.?.? (I know, I know, February what year? We've already heard that one.)

He better get in their and claim his homestead. Luckily the county decided that the value dropped $2.1 million from '07 to '08. :scratch:

Around 30-40 grand depending on the year you look at.

For his residence in Bay County, if he still lives there, is $328,523.57 per year.

I understand that he actually lives quite humbly in his primary. You may be looking at something else. You know he controls much real property.

That large sum is for the Holiday Inn Sunspree. Charlie and his wife used to live in one of the Penthouse units. Not sure if they still do. ;-)
