THE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND THE RECORDS, TAXES, AND TREASURY DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
Section 197.323, Florida Statutes provides that the County Commission, upon request of the Tax Collector, may order the VAB to certify the assessment roll prior to the completion of the hearings before the VAB, if such completion would be the cause of delay in issuance of tax bills beyond November 1st. Inasmuch as completion of the hearings will extend beyond November 1st, it is necessary to order the extension of the certification of the roll. Upon approval of the above motion, the tax bills for 2018 will be issued by the County in a timely manner in accordance with Florida Statutes. A second certification will be made by the VAB at the time hearings have been completed.
