Trump’s solution will be to live there and dare the city to sue him. Odds are, the majority of Palm Beach residents are okay with him living at Mar-a-lago, even if some would like to irritate him. This letter seems to come from just a few neighbors.
I thought the issue was the tax treatment of the property. If it is a resort, you can only stay there a limited number of days. If the Trumps were to live there, they would lose these benefits.
I Googled a little for tax benefits. What I came up with is that the property tax valuation is based on capitalizing the profits of the club, rather than estimating the market value.
" Instead, the values are figured using a formula called an “income approach,” which capitalizes the net operating income that the private club reports to the property appraiser each year."
“Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!,” Mr. Trump tweeted earlier this month in an appeal to his supporters to come to the capital to buttress his campaign to overturn the election results.
