Exchange of Evidence REQUIREMENTS EFFECTIVE September 1, 2025
Legislation effective September 1,2025 makes it mandatory for the property appraiser to provide
the property appraiser's evidence to the petitioner at least 15 days before the hearing. Florida
Statutes now require both the petitioner and the property appraiser to provide their evidence to
each other, without any preconditions.
Petitioners MUST submit, to the property appraiser, the petitioner's list of evidence to be
presented at the hearing, a summary of evidence to be presented by witnesses, and copies of all
documentation to be presented at the hearing. This includes documents to be used as evidence
that the property appraiser specifically requested in writing from the petitioner. Due to the new
statutory provisions effective September 1, 2025, any inconsistent provisions in Rules 12D-9.020
and 12D-9.025, Florida Administrative Code, will NOT be effective on September 1, 2025, and
thereafter.
To calculate the fifteen (15) days, use calendar days and do not include the day of the hearing in
the calculation, and count backwards from the day of the hearing, using the calendar day before
the hearing as day 1. The last day of the fifteen (15) day period is included unless it is a Saturday,
Sunday, or legal holiday, in which event the period runs until the end of the next previous day that
is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.
