The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12D-9.020, F.A.C., is to implement the Administrative Law Judge’s ruling in Rob Turner, Hillsborough County Property Appraiser v. Department of Revenue, DOAH Case No 11-677, Summary Final Order dated June 22, 2011. It was found that the rule contradicts Section 194.011(4)(a), F.S. The effect of amending Rules 12D-9.001, 12D-9.005, and 12D-9.019 is to: recognize a taxpayer’s statutory right to request a rescheduled hearing appointment, if their petition is not heard at a value adjustment board (VAB) proceeding within a reasonable time after their originally-scheduled appointment; ensure that taxpayers who petition the VAB receive important information about their scheduled hearing; and, ensure the Department’s rules reflect recent statutory changes. The effect of the proposed amendments to Rule 12D-9.020 is to make the rule consistent with the Administrative Law Judge’s ruling regarding the exchange of evidence within the VAB hearing process.
