Resolution 076-1976
RESOLUTION NO.76 -1976
WHEREAS, the Department of Revenue of the State of
Florida has promulgated new rules (Chapter 120) that will be de-
trimental to operations of county property appraisers and present
a tremendous financial burden on local taxpayers; and
WHEREAS, Monroe County's Property Appraiser has esti-
mated that approximately one-and-a-half million dollars will be
required to implement requirements of the proposed rules and con-
vert the present system to a unified statewide system; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that adoption of the pro-
posed rules will require excessive costs and personnel, with little
or no benefit to local governments and their citizens, thereby
exceeding the alleged benefits to the State of Florida and its
counties; and
WHEREAS, said rules appear to surpass the intent of the
Administrative Procedures Act adopted by the State Legislature,
now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that:
1. The Cabinet of the State of Florida be respectfully
requested to reject the proposed rules promulgated by the Depart-
ment of Revenue as they pertain to the operations of County Property
Appraisers.
2. The Property Appraisers be given the opportunity, in
workshop session, to work closely with the Department of Revenue
in preparation of any proposed rules and regulations affecting
operations of county property appraisers.
BE IT FURTHER RESOL\lliD BY SAID BOARD that copies of this
resolution be forwarded to the Monroe County legislative delegation
requesting their support to oppose the proposed rules and regula-
tions.
