The Board published a Notice of Rule Development on January 5, 2007, to amend Rules 18-1.002, 18-1.003, 18-1.005, 18-1.006, 18-1.007 and 18-1.008, F.A.C. As those Rules were developed, it became clear that it may be necessary to open every rule in the chapter to update and clarify them. The purposes of this amendment are to clarify the rules and implement statutes and policies adopted by the Board for land acquisition and appraisal procedures. These rule amendments will implement recommendations of the Auditor General’s Office in a June 2005 operational audit. Please see also the Notice of Rule Development published January 5, 2007.
