Pursuant to F.S.193.011, the St. Johns County Property Appraiser is required to consider the market as of January 1 each year when placing assessed values for that year's assessment roll. Our office is asking your assistance in confirming sale and income information in St. Johns County.
Pursuant to F.S.195.027, this office is allowed to request your submission of income data as part of the information analyzed in assessment preparation. Income information is offered voluntarily to this office and is not required by Florida law. However, you should be aware that the decision rendered by Florida courts in Higgs v. Good determined that income information requested by the Property Appraiser and not provided by the property owner for review prior to or on the due date placed before initial certification is not admissible as evidence at a later date for valuation consideration by the Property Appraiser, Value Adjustment Board or in court proceedings. This deadline is placed so that the Property Appraiser can fulfill their duties.
This serves as our request for submittal of income information. We must have all data requested as soon as possible in order to properly prepare the annual assessment roll. Therefore, if you would like for your income data to be considered in the preparation of the current assessment roll, you must submit it to this office at your earliest convenience but no later than May 31 (if this date falls on a weekend, then the deadline is the following business day). If you do not submit it by that date of the current tax year, you may not be able to offer it as evidence in any further proceedings. In compliance with this request, please complete the following.
