The Sarasota County Property Appraiser is a good source of information regarding who owns what property at Plantation.

Question:

Does PMA own the building that AMI occupies in Plantation.. Are they paying fair market rent? Do they manage more than Plantation associations from there?

Answer: 

Yes, PMA owns the building and AMI is paying rent. Yes, AMI manages non-plantation properties from the Plantation location. The building is 30+ years old, not in very good shape, and not in a very desirable location. Our agreement with AMI calls for a corresponding increase in rent when management fees are increased so there have been increases in rent over the years.
