Creator: CAMAudit
Published: 2026-03-19

A public-record office lease case study showing Rule 10 advisory finding: $9,500 tax appeal fee billed with no corresponding refund credit despite a lease refund-back requirement.

Broward County Board of County Commissioners2022 statementNNN leaseOffice

Tax Appeal & Consulting Fees billed at $9,500.

No refund credit visible in the 2022 statement.

What happened

The Broward County lease allows landlords to pass through tax appeal costs but requires any refund from a successful appeal to be credited back to tenants pro-rata (Section 9.4). The 2022 reconciliation included $9,500 in tax appeal fees with no refund credit. If the appeal was successful, Broward County may be owed its 6% share of any refund received.

medium confidence

Tax appeal fees of $9,500.00 billed to tenant but no refund credit appears in the statement. Lease Section 9.4 requires any appeal refund to be credited pro-rata.

If such contest results in a refund or reduction, Landlord shall credit Tenant's Pro-Rata Share of any refund received. Section 9.4.

Lease evidence

Tax appeal costs recoverable; refunds must be credited back pro-rata (Section 9.4).
Tenant pro-rata share: 6.00%.

Why this matters for your firm

Tax appeal refund withholding is a silent overcharge: tenants pay the appeal costs but never see the benefit if the appeal succeeds. The landlord has every incentive to keep the refund and no obligation to self-report unless the lease explicitly requires it. Only a reconciliation audit catches this.
