Purpose
The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12D-9.025, F.A.C. (Procedures for Conducting a Hearing; Presentation of Evidence; Testimony of Witnesses), is to provide clarification that the current rule provides limitations for when the property appraiser seeks to present additional evidence that was unexpectedly discovered, and that would increase an assessment, regarding petitions to the value adjustment board requesting a decrease in the value of the property, and to provide the limitations regarding petitions requesting an increase in the value of the property. When in effect, the proposed amendments will differentiate between limitations for petitions requesting a decrease in the value of property and limitations for petitions requesting an increase in the value of property.
