Purpose


The purpose of the amendments to Rule 12D-16.002, F.A.C. (Index to Forms), is to incorporate, by reference, updates to an exemption application and tax roll recapitulation forms to reflect law changes under the Live Local Act for affordable housing (sections 8 and 9, Chapter 2023-17, L.O.F., which amends section 196.1978, F.S. and creates section 196.1979, F.S.). The amendments to the forms capture newly created affordable housing exemptions including: land owned by a nonprofit entity and leased, newly constructed multifamily projects certified by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation, and multifamily projects exempted by ordinance and certified by the governing body of a county or municipality to be reported to the Department.
