Chandler, County Administrator FROM : Jeffrey R . Smith . Assistant Tax Collector SUBJECT : Consent Agenda Item DATE : August 20 , 2001 Please place the following on the Consent Agenda for the Board of County Commissioners meeting on September 4 , 2001 . The Property Appraiser has informed us that the Value Adjustment Board Hearings have been scheduled for October 3 , 4 , and 5 `h with backup dates of October 18 `h & 19`h ( see attached) . Due to these dates , it may be necessary to certify the tax roll without the VAB hearings being concluded. Pursuant to Florida Statutes 197 . 323 ( see attached excerpt) , we are requesting that the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners order the roll to be extended prior to the completion of the Value Adjustment Board hearings . The statute gives the Board this authority if completion of the hearings would otherwise be the only cause for a delay in the issuance of tax notices beyond November 1 . We affirm this to be the truth to the best of our knowledge and belief. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and if you have any questions or if we can be of any assistance, please call me at ext 1395 . ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams , SECONDED BY Commissioner Tippin , the Board unanimously ordered the certification of the 2001 Tax Roll be extended prior to the completion of the Value Adjustment Board hearings , as requested by the Tax Collector ' s office .
