Department of Revenue Certifications
To qualify for any of the certifications, an applicant must have at least 2 years’ experience in a Florida property appraiser’s office, a Florida tax collector’s office, or with the Department of Revenue. An applicant must also complete a minimum number of hours of approved courses and pass monitored examinations. Course hours are specified by certification. See the Florida Professional Certification Program Guide for certification information.
Certification shall be conditional upon a professional designee’s governmental employment, and certification shall expire automatically without notice to the holder when a professional designee leaves governmental employment. Each property appraiser and tax collector shall notify the Department when a professional designee within the office leaves governmental employment.
A person who leaves governmental employment and fails to meet annual recertification requirements must, upon returning to governmental employment, follow the reinstatement procedures of 12D-19.010, Florida Administrative Code, to become certified.
If a person returns to governmental employment and timely meets the annual recertification requirements, that person remains certified and does not need to meet the reinstatement requirements.
