The Legislature expressly authorized the Department of Revenue to adopt emergency rules that implement the provisions of Chapter 2007-321, Laws of Florida. The law provided that these emergency rules could remain in effect for a period of 18 months and that they could be renewed. The Department of Revenue has taken several actions to inform interested parties about the need to repeal forms that are no longer applicable, and to give such parties an opportunity to review and comment. These interested parties include Property Appraisers and counties, municipalities, and independent districts and their associations. The actions that the Department has taken include: e-mailing the Property Appraisers, and posting on the Department’s website an announcement, “Repeal of Forms from 2007 Millage Levy Compliance.” The forms now being repealed were effective only for 2007 and are not applicable to 2008. This Emergency Rule avoids having two versions of the same form available, and prevents the inadvertent use of outdated forms by the public.
