§ 16-83. Correction of errors and omissions; petition to board.

(a)

No act of omission or commission on the part of the property appraiser, tax collector, board, administrator, assessment director, or their deputies or employees, shall operate to defeat the payment of the solid waste assessment imposed by the board under the provisions of this article. Provided, however, any acts of omission or commission may be corrected at any time by the officers or parties responsible for them in a manner consistent with the provisions of this article for performing such acts in the first place, and when so corrected they shall be construed as valid ab initio and shall in no way affect any legal process for the enforcement of the solid waste assessment imposed under the provisions of this article.

(b)

The board shall have the authority, at any time, upon its own initiative or in response to a petition from any affected owner of residential property, to correct any error of omission or commission in the adoption of any assessment roll or addendum thereto or in the implementation of this article, including, but not limited to, an error of including any real property on the assessment roll when such real property is not residential property within the scope of this article and any error in the calculation of the solid waste assessment imposed against any parcel of residential property based upon the classification established by the board.

(c)

Any owner of residential property may petition the board to correct any asserted error of omission or commission in relation to that owner's property in the adoption or approval of the assessment roll or any addendum to such roll or in the implementation of this article by filing with the assessment director a written petition containing the name of the owner, a legal description of the real property affected, a summary description of the asserted error and the relief requested of the board. The board at any regular or special meeting shall consider such petition. The certificate of correction, if the board approves any relief, shall be signed by the assessment director and delivered to the tax collector.

(d)

The provisions of this section are subject to, and shall not be construed or applied in a manner inconsistent with chapter 197, Florida Statutes, and chapter 12D-18, Florida Administrative Code.
