12D-13. Tax Collectors Rules And Regulations |
1(1) When property has been properly assessed in the name of the owner as of January 1 of the tax year, the property appraiser may not cancel the tax assessment because of a sale of the whole or a part of the property. The tax assessment is against the property, not the owner.
54(2) When the new owner or the original owner 63or a designated representative of either party requests 71to pay taxes on his or her share of the property, the property appraiser must calculate the amount of the tax assessment on that portion. The request for a cutout 101must be submitted to the tax collector on Form DR-518, Cutout Request, incorporated by reference in Rule 11812D-16.002, 119F.A.C. 120A cutout may be requested from November 1, or as soon as the tax collector receives the certified tax roll, until 45 days before the tax certificate sale.
148(3) The party requesting the cutout is required to furnish proof to substantiate the claim. Proof 164is established through legally competent evidence, such as 172a recorded instrument 175that clearly reflects an ownership or possessory interest in the real property involved.
188(4) The tax collector must forward the completed DR-518 to the property appraiser, who must return it within ten days.
208(5) If taxes remain unpaid on any portion of the original or cutout property and become delinquent, the tax collector must advertise and sell tax certificates.
234(6) If the request for cutout occurs after the property has been advertised for delinquent taxes, but 45 days or more before the tax certificate sale, then the tax collector must prorate the interest and advertising cost.
271(7) If the request for a cutout is less than 45 days before the tax certificate sale and the taxes are unpaid, the tax collector may sell a tax certificate. If a tax certificate is sold, the property owner can redeem a portion of the tax certificate when the completed DR-518 is returned by the property appraiser. The partial redemption is made by paying the taxes, interest and fees for the cutout.
