Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Larry E. Levy of The Levy Law Firm, Tallahassee; Granville C. Burgess, Fernandina Beach; and Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Joseph C. Mellichamp, III, Senior Assistant Attorney General, Department of Legal Affairs, Tallahassee,' for Appellants.

Benjamin K. Phipps and George C. Hamm of The Phipps Firm, Tallahassee; and Anthony J. Leggio, Fernandina Beach, for Appellee.


BENTON, Judge.

This case raises questions about the amenability to ad valorem taxation of certain municipally owned real property. We affirm the final judgment insofar as it adjudicated property at a public beach and vacant lots held by the City of Fernandina Beach (City) exempt from ad valorem taxation, but we reverse the final judgment insofar as it held that city property leased to private parties who used it for proprietary purposes was nevertheless exempt.
