NOTICE OF CHANGE
Notice is hereby given that the following changes have been made to the proposed rule in accordance with subparagraph 120.54(3)(d)1., F.S., published in Vol. 46 No. 123, June 24, 2020 issue of the Florida Administrative Register.
During a public hearing on Friday, July 24, 2020, the Commission on Ethics voted to approve the noticed changes to the financial disclosure forms incorporated by reference in these rules, as well as one additional change not previously noticed. This additional change emphasizes that, when completing their financial disclosures forms, filers do not have to use the appraised value of their real property if a more accurate valuation is available.
In particular, the instructions for Part B of the Form 6, Form 6X, and Form 6F currently read, "Real property may be valued at its market value for tax purposes, unless a more accurate appraisal of its fair market value is available." This language is being changed to read, "Real property may be valued at its market value for tax purposes, unless a more accurate fair market value is available."
In addition, the instructions for Part C of the Form 1, Form 1X, and Form 1F currently read, "The value of the property may be determined by the most recently assessed value for tax purposes, in the absence of a more current appraisal." This language is being changed to read, "The value of the property may be determined by the most recently assessed value for tax purposes, in the absence of a more accurate fair market value."
