ORLANDO, Fla. — Editor’s note: This story is available as a result of a content partnership between WFTV and the Orlando Business Journal.
The power is back on at Seminole Towne Center after being disconnected because its owner failed to pay the bill, but potential challenges persist for the mall in Sanford.
Most notably, Seminole County Tax Collector records show the mall’s ownership is more than $870,000 delinquent on property taxes from 2022 as of Feb. 27 — in addition to another $661,000 in taxes that have been assessed for 2023, for a total of $1.53 million owed.
The totals include tax obligations for five of six total parcels registered to Seminole Mall Realty Holding LLC, a subsidiary of New York-based Kohan Retail Investment Group — which co-owns Seminole Towne Center along with Hollywood-based 4th Dimension Properties.
