The purpose of these proposed rule changes is to set forth uniform procedures for hearings before value adjustment boards and their magistrates; and, to consider uniform forms related to these procedures. It is anticipated that Chapter 12D-10, Florida Administrative Code, will be substantially rewritten and that a new chapter may be created. The preliminary text of the proposed rule development will be available from the contact person listed below or from the Department’s website for value adjustment board information at http://dor.myflorida.com/dor/property/vabwb/vabws.html on or before July 21, 2008. General comments, questions, or suggestions about the value adjustment board process may be submitted to the Department at VAB@dor.state.fl.us. The effect of these proposed rule changes is to provide clear, equitable, and uniform procedures for taxpayers who want to petition property tax matters to Value Adjustment Boards, including property tax assessments, denials of classifications, and denials of exemptions.
