I was listening to WKIS 99.9 F.M. this morning here in Miami and a listener called in with this tip:

RUMOR: The City of Miami will soon be sending out tax bills to people around Marlins Park for the money they’ve made on parking cars in their yards.

The caller went on to describe inspectors actually walking around on gameday and taking pictures of lawns with cars on them, along with gathering evidence as to how much the residents were making from the improvised lots.

And now for the hypocrisy:

Miami leaders breathed a collective sigh of relief when, less than three hours from the end of the 60-day legislative session, state lawmakers exempted the cash-strapped city from having to pay an annual $1.2 million in property taxes on garages at the new Marlins ballpark.
And the city received more good news Monday: Miami-Dade Property Appraiser Pedro Garcia, who had indicated he would likely send the city a property-tax bill for the parking garages, said he would not challenge the new legislative tax break.
“It’s a great thing for the people of Miami,” said a relieved Mayor Tomás Regalado, whose city is facing a budget hole of more than $35 million for the next fiscal year.

So the city doesn’t have to pay taxes on their garages, but residents do? I’ll update when I hear more.
