Crist wants BP to pay for property losses

Crist OKs appraisers to assess values so
homeowners, businesses can file claims

TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Charlie Crist authorized
property appraisers Wednesday to calculate lost
real-estate values caused by the Gulf oil spill, so
homeowners and businesses can send the tab to BP.

His action drew approval from some affected
property appraisers, although staff time and cost of
reappraisals will be tough on cash-strapped
counties.

Crist signed an executive order for the 26 Gulf
counties under his previously declared state of
emergency, authorizing appraisers "to provide an
interim assessment of any property that may have
dropped in value because of the oil spill. Property
owners can then use that documentation to file a
complaint against BP or any other responsible
party."

It's unclear how much the additional costs will be in
Escambia County, said Escambia Property Appraiser
Chris Jones.
