Alternative Form Requests
Section 195.022, Florida Statutes, and Rule 12D-16.001(5),
Florida Administrative Code, provide guidance for local officials about alternative forms and their function within the property tax process. Please review the links and outline below
for more details regarding the alternative form request process. The request must be in writing on official stationery from the county official or designee and include the following:
- A draft version of the county’s form with changes highlighted and the reason for the changes
- A statement certifying the requested alternative form is necessary, beneficial, and will not create any delay or impairment to the production of a lawful tax roll
or the collection of tax
The county’s draft form should not contain any Department information such as the Department’s logo, “DR” in the form number, and rule reference in the rule header. The
form must reflect an updated revision date indicating when the county’s form was approved.
Please submit any questions and all alternative form requests to DORPTO@floridarevenue.com. For more information, see the
