FL S2234

Requires persons claiming adverse possession to submit a uniform return developed by the Department of Revenue to the property appraiser within 1 year of taking possession, including the claimant's name, entry date, legal description, notarized attestation under penalty of perjury, property use description, and proof of mailing to the record owner.

Mandates that claimants send certified mail notice of the adverse possession claim to the record owner and submit proof of mailing to the property appraiser within 15 business days, or the return must be removed from official records.

Directs property appraisers to add a notation to the tax roll indicating an adverse possession claim has been filed and include a clear notation in any public searchable property database maintained by the appraiser.

Establishes that if the record owner pays the annual tax assessment after the adverse possession claimant has paid it, the tax collector must refund the claimant's payment within 60 days and accept the owner's payment.

Allows removal of adverse possession notations from property records if the claimant withdraws the claim, a court establishes title in the owner, a deed is transferred to the owner, or the owner pays taxes during the claim period.
