Purpose


The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rules 12D-9.015 and 12D-9.020, F.A.C., is to include statutory changes enacted in Sections 1 and 2 of Chapter 2015-115, L.O.F., which amended Sections 194.011 and 194.013, F.S. Owners of multiple tangible personal property (TPP) accounts may now file a single joint petition with a value adjustment board (VAB) if the property appraiser determines the accounts are substantially similar and will only be charged a single filing fee not to exceed $15. Proposed changes to Rule 12D-9.015(7), F.A.C. will include citing to Section 194.011(3)(g), F.S. and references to a TPP account. Proposed changes to Rule 12D-9.020(2)(c), F.A.C., will include adding provisions that the property record card will be provided to the petitioner with the requested documentation. This amendment also removes the language that the board clerk provides the property record card.
