The Legislature expressly authorized the Department of Revenue to adopt emergency rules that implement the provisions of Chapter 2009-157 (House Bill 7157), Laws of Florida. The law provides that these emergency rules remain in effect for a period of 6 months and that they may be renewed. The form included here is based on the requirements of Chapter 2009-157 (House Bill 7157), Laws of Florida, as passed by the Legislature. The Department of Revenue has taken several actions to inform interested parties about the forms, procedures, and emergency rules that are being developed to implement this new law, and to give such parties an opportunity to review and comment. These interested parties include Property Appraisers and the professional associations that represent them, taxing authorities, including counties, municipalities, and independent districts, school districts, their associations, and practitioners who have told the Department that they want to receive all information associated with property tax rulemaking. The actions that the Department has taken include: making the proposed drafts available via the Internet for public review and comments, maintaining a Department email address to make it easier for interested parties to submit comments and questions to the agency; emailing copies of the draft form to interested parties, as well as receiving and incorporating public comments on the drafts of form.
