Relocation Industry Facing Millions in Potential Fines From Whistleblower
Action for Failing to Pay Doc Stamp Fees
-
A bill that is close to passing in the Florida Legislature puts
the state in jeopardy of losing hundreds of millions of dollars
in doc stamp fees from some of Florida's wealthiest companies.
Doc stamps are fees paid to the state per one thousand dollars
of a real
estate transaction. The bill would also derail a lawsuit filed
by Private AG that is trying to stop this illegal practice and
require the industry to pay its fair share. Roy Oppenheim heads
Private AG, a corporation that represents the state under the
Florida Whistleblower Act.
