While you certainly got the legislators attention, the legislators have decided not to address the timeshare tax issue this year to our great disappointment. Some legislators and others want to wait until the Appeals Court rules on the Mohave County tax case involving the London Bridge Resort. Timeshare owners and developers position on taxation was and is still diametrically opposed to the position of the County Tax Assessors, despite several meetings to bring all parties together.
Legislators like to find compromises and no one was willing to compromise.
We will continue to work throughout the remainder of 2001 to find a solution that does not harm timeshare owners with unfairly high taxes. Tell your county supervisor and tax assessor that you do not want any change in valuation method for timesharing in your county until the Legislature has a chance to act in 2002. This notice will remain up for about 30 days. In the meantime, ARDA and ARDA-ROC will continue to work on a reasonable solution. Again, thank you very much for your help in putting this critical issue on legislators radar screens.
