The City Commission is considering Resolution 2026-16 to grant an ad valorem tax exemption for a historic property at 66 Saragossa Street. The property, a contributing building to the Model Land Company National Register Historic District, underwent rehabilitation work consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. The Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB) reviewed and recommended the exemption. The exemption applies to the increase in property taxes resulting from qualified improvements for ten years, starting January 1, 2027, and expiring December 31, 2036. The property owners are Krista Ahmad, Justin Ahmad, and Andrew Varacalli. The total cost of work was $854,324.67, with $695,844.67 for historic renovation and $158,480.00 for a new rear addition and covered porch. Exterior renovation constituted 26.69% of the total cost.
