- The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12D-1.002, F.A.C., (Definitions) is to implement a statutory change enacted in Section 1 of Chapter 2012-193, Laws of Florida. The effect of amending Rule 12D-1.002, F.A.C., is that the term “assessed value of property” is correctly defined. The purpose of proposed new Rule 12D-1.0025 (Computation of Time; Due Dates Falling on Weekends and Holidays) is to clarify how deadlines for property tax actions will be applied when the deadline ends on a weekend or holiday. The effect of creating Rule 12D-1.0025 is to eliminate confusion about how to handle a deadline that falls on a non-business day. The purpose of the proposed amendment to Rule 12D-1.009, F.A.C., (Mapping Requirements) is to update and clarify a provision dealing with the property ownership maps property appraisers use to help them identify, assess and value property. The effect of amending Rule 12D-1.009, F.A.C., is that the Department’s rules will reflect the most current procedures used by property appraisers. The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12D-1.010, F.A.C., (Reconciliation of Interim Tax Rolls – Form of Notification) is to remove a form which is not used. The effect of amending Rule 12D-1.010, F.A.C., is to eliminate an obsolete form. The purpose of repealing Rule 12D-1.011, F.A.C., (Notification to Property Appraiser of Land Development Restriction) is to remove a rule which has language that is almost identical to the language of the statute it implements. The provisions of the statute will still apply to this topic. The effect of repealing Rule 12D-1.011, F.A.C., is to reduce the number of rules the agency maintains.

- The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12D-6.006, F.A.C., (Fee Timeshare Real Property) is to remove definitions in this rule that were intended by the Legislature to only be used for the regulatory purposes contained in Chapter 721, F.S. and, delete rule language which is redundant of statutory language in Section 192.037, F.S., as required by Section 120.74(1)(d), F.S., of the Administrative Procedure Act. The effect of these proposed rule revisions is to provide property appraisers with better procedures for assessing fee timeshare real property.
- Due of Comment: 10/16/2013
- The purpose of adopting proposed Rule 12D-7.0025, F.A.C., (Application for Certain Exemptions Before Receiving Statutorily Required Documentation) is to implement statutory changes enacted in Sections 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, and 28 of Chapter 2012-193, Laws of Florida. The effect of proposed Rule 12D-7.0025, F.A.C., is to allow qualifying veterans or their surviving spouses to receive the exemption or discount as of the date of their original application and to apply for a refund of any excess taxes that have been paid. The purpose of amending Rule 12D-7.0143, F.A.C., (Additional Homestead Exemptions for Persons 65 and Older Whose Household Income Does Not Exceed $20,000 Per Year) is to implement Chapter 2012-57, Laws of Florida, based on the new Constitutional exemption for certain seniors that was approved by voters in the 2012 election. The effect of amending Rule 12D-7.0143, F.A.C. is to provide property appraisers with better procedures to follow as they administer these two exemptions.
- Due of Comment: 10/16/2013
- The purpose of adopting this proposed rule (which replaces Emergency Rule 12DER12-08) is to implement the provisions of Chapter 2008-173, L.O.F., and Section 5 of Ch. 2012-193, L.O.F. The effect of adopting this rule is that authorized procedures will be available to both taxpayers and property appraisers which support applications for, and processing of, taxpayer’s “Portability” requests.

- The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rules 12D-9.001 and 12D-9.019, F.A.C., is to implement statutory changes enacted in Sections 2 and 11 of Chapter 2012-193, Laws of Florida. The effect of amending Rules 12D-9.001 and 12D-9.019, F.A.C., 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 petitioners to the VAB receive important information about their scheduled hearing; and, ensure the Department’s rules reflect recent statutory changes.
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 the proposed amendments to Rule 12D-9.020, F.A.C., is to make the rule consistent with the Administrative Law Judge’s ruling regarding the exchange of evidence within the VAB hearing process.
- Due of Comment: 10/16/2013
