Once the certified NAV Roll is merged with the certified Tax Roll, on or about November 1st, the Tax Roll will be opened for collection. If an error in assessment is discovered after the merging process, the only way to correct the assessment on a certified tax roll is by completing a Certificate of Correction Form.

FAC 12D-13.006 Procedure for the Correction of Errors by the Tax Collector; Correcting Erroneous or Incomplete Personal Property Assessments; Tax Certificate Corrections. (11) Changes to any non-ad valorem assessment roll shall be prepared by the local governing board that prepared and certified the roll for collection, consistent with the provisions of Rule 12D18.006, F.A.C.

Your district may only correct your assessment. All other information on the tax bill is controlled by the Property Appraiser and cannot be changed by your correction.

Email corrections to: non-adv@hillstax.org

You may add, delete, or change the assessment amount using the Certificate of Correction form. Should the ownership or the address change on a parcel, our office will send a duplicate bill to the new owner or address, but our office cannot change the certified tax roll unless the Property Appraiser issues a correction.

Since our office is charged with collecting a specified amount, as stated in your certification, we must account for any change in the figure. Therefore, your correction forms must be identified by your district number and the correction numbers must be assigned sequentially, starting with Correction #1.

To ensure proper audit records for your district, a copy of each correction issued should be retained by the district.

Under Florida law, a taxpayer is allowed an additional 30 days to pay with the 4% discount, if a correction was requested during that period but was not processed until later. You must indicate by checking the 4% block, if this extension should be allowed.
