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 and Chapter 2008-173 (Senate Bill 1588), Laws of Florida, and will replace the forms used in previous years. 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.
