CLYDE H. SIMPSON, AS TAX COLLECTOR OF DUVAL COUNTY, FLORIDA, ET AL., PETITIONER,
v.
MARIE CERTAIN WILLIAMS AND A. M. WILLIAMS, RESPONDENTS

Fla. | 1968-07-24
No. 37498
CALDWELL, C. J., and ROBERTS, THORNAL, ERVIN and ADAMS, JJ., concur.
212 So. 2d 629 Florida Supreme Court (1968) Caution

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The Duval County Tax Assessor, Robert A. Mallard, seeks review of a decision of the district court, Williams v. Simpson, 209 So.2d 262 (1st Dist.Ct.App.Fla.1968), which passes on a matter affecting a class of constitutional officers by its consideration of a rule for valuing property for ad valorem tax purposes.

Our examination of the record and brief leads us to conclude that the district court properly disposed of the matter. It would serve no useful purpose to grant certiorari or hear oral argument merely to reaffirm the rule of our decision in Lanier v. Overstreet, 175 So.2d 521 (Fla.1965). We do that herewith.

Certiorari is therefore denied.

CALDWELL, C. J., and ROBERTS, THORNAL, ERVIN and ADAMS, JJ., concur.

Appellant’s reliance on Williams v. Simpson, 209 So. 2d 262 (Fla. 1st DCA), cert. denied, 212 So. 2d 629 (Fla. 1968), is similarly misplaced. In the present case, it is proper to consider speculative investment as the highest and best use. If there is no present demand for the property, that will affect the value which the appraiser attached to it. In…

Simpson, 209 So. 2d 262 (Fla. 1st DCA 1968), cert. denied, 212 So. 2d 629 (Fla.1968), are evidence of present market value. The future uses to which the property may be put is a matter of conjecture.

As stated before, our review of the record satisfies us that on January 1, 1983, appellants did not have building permits, plan approval, or the necessary state permits to construct a 1,500 unit development on the subject property.
