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.
