EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to appoint two Commissioners as regular members, three Commissioners as alternate
members, and ratification of appointed citizen member and alternate citizen member for a one-year period
on the Value Adjustment Board.
OBJECTIVE: To appoint two (2) Commissioners as regular members, three (3) Commissioners as alternate
members, and ratification of appointed citizen member and alternate citizen member for a one-year period on the
Value Adjustment Board (VAB).
CONSIDERATIONS: The VAB meets for the following purposes:
• Hearing petitions relating to assessments filed pursuant to Section 194.011(3), Florida Statutes (F.S.).
• Hearing complaints relating to homestead exemptions as provided for under Section 196.151, F.S.
• Hearing appeals from exemptions denied, or disputes arising from exemptions granted, upon the filing of
exemption applications under Section 196.011, F.S.
• Hearing appeals concerning the denial of certain tax refunds.
• Hearing appeals concerning ad valorem tax deferrals and classifications.
Pursuant to Section 194.015, F.S., the VAB is required to be comprised of the following membership:
Two members of the governing board of the county as elected from membership of the board of said
governing body, one of whom will be elected VAB chairperson;
One member of the school board as elected from the membership of the school board; and
Two citizen members, one of whom shall be appointed by the governing body of the county and must own
homestead property within the county, and one of whom must be appointed by the school board and must own
a business occupying commercial space located within the school district. A citizen member may not be a
member or an employee of any taxing authority and may not be a person who represents property owners in
any administrative or judicial review of property taxes.

a quorum. The final meeting of the VAB cycle is typically held in February or March in the Commission
Chambers. In total, 2-3 meetings are held between June -March and these meetings usually do not last longer than
one -hour.

resolution confirming all appointments and ratifications.
