The Department of Revenue has taken several actions to inform interested parties about the forms, procedures, and emergency rules that are being developed to implement this new law, and to give such parties an opportunity, to review and comment. These interested parties include Property Appraisers and the professional associations that represent them, counties, municipalities, and independent districts, their associations, and practitioners who have told the Department that they want to receive all information associated with property tax rulemaking. The actions that the Department has taken include: testing the email addresses and fax numbers of interested parties to ensure the Department’s communications are successfully received; requesting the assistance of other state agencies and professional associations in obtaining correct email and mail addresses; establishing several new Department email addresses to make it easier for interested parties to submit comments and questions to the agency; establishing a new website on which to post information, forms, and procedures associated with implementation of this act; emailing and/or mailing copies of the draft forms to interested parties; and receiving public comments on the drafts of forms DR-420C-P, DR-420I-P, DR-420M-P, and DR-428.
