About Certification and Training

The Property Tax Oversight Certification and Training team is responsible for providing training and certification for:

  • Florida county property appraisers and staff
  • Florida county tax collectors and staff

The certification and training program is established in section 195.002, Florida Statutes, and is further defined in Chapter 12D-19, Florida Administrative Code.​ Additional information can be found in the Florida Professional Certification Program Guide.

Course registration is open to all interested parties on a space available basis. The registration process for external individuals is the same as those working for the property appraiser or tax collector.

The Department of Revenue provides training for special magistrates. This training is open to the public. Click here to visit the Value Adjustment Board (VAB) Training page.
