Context 5

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $5,517,900; listed items add up to $5,517,900

Reported net worth: $5,517,900. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $5,517,900. They roughly agree. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

What to check
  • No action needed unless other items look off.

Context Missing or incomplete

$66,500 of assets itemized in an attachment on page 5 — each entry is accounted for there

The form says “see attached” for 1 entry, and this copy includes the attachment (page 5). 457B, See Attached — $66,500: matches “Total $66,521.73 $66,521.73” (page 5) — within $22, likely rounding.

What to check
  • Open the attachment page to see the individual holdings behind each total.

100% of listed income ($152,500) comes from Flagler County Property Appraiser

Listed income totals $152,500 from 1 source. The largest is classed as government & public payroll.

What to check
  • Who is this source, and does it have business before the office sought?
  • If the filer owns it, check the business section and secondary income.

  • Check that the large assets below are described and valued clearly.

Context Wealth & holdings

Real estate worth $5,070,200 across 5 properties (92% of net worth)

Real estate holdings, as listed.

What to check
  • Look the parcels up with the county property appraiser: land use (vacant or improved), assessed value and when they were bought.
  • Check whether any listed liability is a mortgage on these properties.
