SUMMARY: Home and business owners in Hillsboro County, impacted by Hurricane Milton, may qualify for property tax relief. Charles Hollowell and his wife are repairing extensive damage to their home, estimating costs around $7,000, and will temporarily relocate due to mildew issues. While property taxes still apply, homeowners whose residences are uninhabitable for over 30 days can apply for a catastrophic event tax refund by submitting documentation to the County property appraiser by March 1, 2025. Additionally, this year’s property tax notices will be delayed to November 25, with an extended 4% discount period to December 31, providing extra relief.

In the wake of devastating hurricanes Milton and Helene, Hillsborough County Property Appraiser Bob Henriquez has created a coalition of local government officials with the aim of providing tax relief for area home and business owners who have suffered property damage.

SUMMARY: CBS News Miami sponsors the Susan G. Komen More Than Pink Walk, which raises significant funds for breast cancer awareness, research, treatment, and detection. Survivors like Tracy Tin’s Horach, who lost her mother to the disease, participate to support others and share their stories. This year, the event attracted over 6,000 participants, aiming to raise $700,000, with over $500,000 already collected. Lynette Hickinbottom, another survivor, emphasizes the importance of regular mammograms, especially given the hereditary nature of breast cancer.

Tracey Tynes-Horlback is a cancer survivor of 13 years but her mother died from it three years ago. She’s been a regular at the More Than Pink Walk in Hialeah and has helped raise $16,000 this year.
