Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE

Division:

Property Tax Oversight Program

Chapter:

Requirements For Value Adjustment Boards in Administrative Reviews; Uniform Rules of Procedure For Hearings Before Value Adjustment Boards

Overview

RULE:

12D-9.007	Role of the Clerk of the Value Adjustment Board
12D-9.015	Petition; Form and Filing Fee
12D-9.019	Scheduling and Notice of a Hearing

PURPOSE:

In response to a Joint Administrative Procedure Committee (JAPC) staff review, the Department is amending the listed rules. The proposed amendment to Rule 12D-9.007, F.A.C., is to remove subsection (15), which does not meet the definition of a rule based on a JAPC staff finding. The proposed amendment to Rule 12D-9.015(2)(e), F.A.C., is to implement s. 10 of Chapter 2016-128, L.O.F., which amended s. 194.032(2), F.S., removing the requirement of a check box for the petitioner to request a copy of the property record card on the petition forms. Section 194.032(2)(a), F.S., instructs the property appraiser, when he or she receives a petition from the clerk, to provide a copy of the property record card or notify the petitioner the property record card is available online. The purpose of the proposed amendment to Rule 12D-9.019(5)(b), F.A.C., is to implement s. 8 of Chapter 2013-109 and s. 2 of Chapter 2012-193, L.O.F., to add amended provisions from Chapter 194, F.S., and remove outdated language. This amendment will allow the value adjustment board (VAB) to hear a petition within a block of time and limit the petitioner’s wait time to two hours after the scheduled time for the hearing to commence. The effect of amending these rules is to have statutorily current procedures for VAB activities and proceedings available to all interested parties.

SUMMARY:

Amend Rules in Chapter 12D-9 about the value adjustment board proceedings, based on JAPC findings during a rule review.
