The City of Gulf Breeze lost tax exemption status on a municipally-owned property when it contracted with a private for-profit management company to run the City’s public golf course. The City filed a lawsuit against Gregory Brown as Santa Rosa County Property Appraiser, challenging the tax revocation. The trial court ruled that the City was entitled to an ad valorem tax exemption under applicable law. On appeal, the First District Court of Appeal reversed the trial court decision and certified a question of great public importance to this Court. The City asks this Court for review.
