FL S0172

Requires the Florida Department of Revenue to create a form that county property appraisers may use, at their discretion, to provide tentative verification of a person's eligibility for homestead property tax exemptions or discounts for disabled veterans and surviving spouses under sections 196.081, 196.082, or 196.091

Tentative verification may be provided after a person submits required forms, documentation, and proof of eligibility following the purchase of a homestead property

The form must clearly state that tentative verification is not binding on the county property appraiser and that the person must still comply with annual application requirements under existing law to actually receive the exemption or discount

Decisions by a county property appraiser on whether to consider a request for tentative verification, or a person's apparent eligibility, are explicitly shielded from administrative or judicial review under Chapter 194

Effective date is July 1, 2024
