Background

Tarpon IV, LLC and Verona V, LLC appealed a ruling of the Circuit Court for Polk County in lower-tribunal case number 2025-CA-002698. The appellees were Heritage Enterprises FL, LLC; O & O Property Group, LLC; Polk County Tax Collector Joe G. Tedder; and Polk County Court Clerk Stacy M. Butterfield.

The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, the issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam disposition.

The court provided no written reasoning or statement of law. Judges Nardella, Kamoutsas, and Pratt concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s ruling remains in effect.
  • The appellate court affirmed without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion establishes no express legal rule beyond the result in this appeal.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves the appeal in favor of the appellees, subject to the opinion’s notice concerning the time for rehearing and disposition of any timely rehearing motion.

Because the court issued an unexplained per curiam affirmance, the opinion offers no factual or legal analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases.
