Purpose


The purpose of holding a second rule development workshop for these proposed new, amended, and repealed rules is to provide the public an opportunity to provide suggestions and ask questions regarding the revised draft. Changes have been made to the draft that was discussed at the May 28, 2015 workshop based on comments received from interested parties. The purpose of these proposed rules is to 1) revise DOR’s rule chapter 12D-13, F.A.C., to implement changes the Legislature adopted in Chapter 2007-339, Laws of Florida (section 7); Chapter 2008-194, Laws of Florida (section 3); Chapter 2009-204, Laws of Florida (section 13); Chapter 2011-107, Laws of Florida (sections 2 and 3); Chapter 2011-151, Laws of Florida (all sections); Chapter 2011-181, Laws of Florida (section 3); Chapter 2012-57, Laws of Florida (section 3); Chapter 2012-193, Laws of Florida (sections 8, 9, and 10); Chapter 2013-148, Laws of Florida (section 1); Chapter 2013-246, Laws of Florida (section 2); and Chapter 2014-211, Laws of Florida (sections 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8); 2) repeal rules that are redundant of statute, are no longer supported by statute, or are adequately addressed in statute; 3) modernize and streamline the procedures and forms property appraisers, tax collectors and clerks of court use to administer, enforce, and collect local property taxes and non-ad valorem assessments; and 4) make the language easier to read. The effect of these proposed new, amended, and repealed rules is that taxpayers, property appraisers, tax collectors, and clerks of court will have updated, more efficient procedures for paying and collecting property taxes and non-ad valorem assessments. These proposed new, amended, and repealed rules will be posted on the Department's Internet web site at: http://dor.myflorida.com/dor/property/legislation/rules/
