⚖️ Can a Florida County Claim Tax Immunity When Buying Land Out of County? | SC19-1819

⚖️ WEIDNER LAW | Florida Supreme Court Oral Argument — Sovereign Immunity & Ad Valorem Taxation When a Florida county buys land in a neighboring county, can it claim sovereign immunity to avoid paying property taxes? The Florida Supreme Court tackles a question with major implications for local governments across the state. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📋 CASE SUMMARY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Pinellas County purchased property in neighboring Pasco County and was charged ad valorem taxes by the Pasco County Property Appraiser. Pinellas County sued, arguing it is not subject to such taxes on the basis of sovereign immunity. Pasco County argued that Pinellas County's immunity from taxation does not extend into Pasco County. The trial court ruled in favor of Pinellas County. On appeal, the Second District Court of Appeal reversed the trial court decision. The Second DCA certified a question of great public importance to the Florida Supreme Court. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📁 CASE INFORMATION ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Case Name: Pinellas County, Florida v.
