v.
WILLIAM H. DELANEY AND KATHY M. DELANEY, HIS WIFE, AND JOHN K. CLARK, AS TAX COLLECTOR, AND LAWRENCE H. FUCHS, AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE FOR THE STATE OF FLORIDA, RESPONDENTS

Fla. 4th DCA | 1998-10-01
No. 98-2137
STONE, C.J., and GROSS and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We find that the Respondents Delaneys’ claim that the homestead tax assessment on their property exceeds the statutory cap on increases of homestead assessments, in violation of section 193.155, Florida Statutes (1997), is an action to contest a tax assessment governed by section 194.171, Florida Statutes (1997). Since respondents’ action was filed beyond the sixty-day time limit prescribed by subsection 194.171(2), the trial court is without subject matter jurisdiction over the claim. Therefore, we grant the petition for writ of prohibition and quash the trial court’s order denying petitioner’s motion for summary judgment.

STONE, C.J., and GROSS and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.

This court exercises its prohibition jurisdiction to review orders denying summary judgment when a trial court lacks jurisdiction to entertain a lawsuit. See Nikolits v. Delaney, 719 So. 2d 348 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998). Section 194.171(2), Florida Statutes (1997) provides that “[n]o action shall be brought to contest a tax assessment after 60 days from the date the assessment being contested is certified for collection under § 193.122(2).” Sect…
