Purpose


The purpose of the proposed revisions to this rule is to list the proposed new and amended forms that will support the proposed new rules in Rule Chapter 12D-9, Florida Administrative Code (Requirements for Value Adjustment Boards in Administrative Reviews; Uniform Rules of Procedure For Hearings Before Value Adjustment Boards). The effect of these proposed rules is that taxpayers who petition property tax matters to Value Adjustment Boards, including property tax assessments, denials of classifications, and denials of exemptions, portability assessment difference transfers and deferrals have access to, and have an opportunity to comment on, the proposed forms that support the proposed value adjustment board hearing procedures in new Rule Chapter 12D-9, Florida Administrative Code. Written comments may be submitted to the Department by email, and to an Internet site at: http://dor.myflorida.com/dor/property/vabwb/vabws.html, which was specifically created to give the public access to all revised versions of the proposed rules and forms, to give the public a site to which they could submit comments, and to give the public the opportunity to view the comments submitted by others. The preliminary text of the proposed forms will be available from the contact person listed below or from the Department’s website stated above on or about July 24, 2009. General comments, questions, or suggestions about the value adjustment board process may be submitted by email to the Department at VAB@dor.state.fl.us.
