The Florida Second District Court of Appeal, in Dep't of Revenue v. Bell, 290 So.3d 1060 (Fla. 2d DCA Feb. 19, 2020), reviewed the statutory requirement for the veteran to be a Florida resident and held that the provision limited and narrowed the class of property owners eligible for the ad valorem tax exemption, and thus the provision is invalid and unenforceable. The purpose of the amendments to paragraph (4)(c) of Rule 12D-7.004, Florida Administrative Code, is to remove the Florida residency requirement for this exemption from the rule. When in effect, the amended rule will reflect the findings of the court regarding this ad valorem tax exemption.
