The Legislature expressly authorized the Department of Revenue to adopt emergency rules that implement the provisions of Chapter 2007-339 (Senate Bill 4-D) and Chapter 2008-173 (Senate Bill 1588), Laws of Florida. The law provides that these emergency rules remain in effect for a period of 18 months and that they may be renewed. The forms included here are based on the requirements of Chapter 2008-173 (Senate Bill 1588), Laws of Florida, as passed by the 2008 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, counties, municipalities, and independent 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: posting information, forms and procedures associated with implementation of this act on a special Internet website at http://dor.myflorida.com/dor/property/sb4d.html for issues regarding recent legislative changes to the laws governing property tax; emailing and/or mailing copies of the draft forms to property appraisers with requests for comments; and previously-adopted Emergency Rules 12DER08-01 through 12DER08-06, 12DER08-07 through 12DER08-12 and 12DER08-20 through 12DER08-23.
