Taxpayer's Bill of Rights

Florida Taxpayer Rights Advocate

The Florida Taxpayer's Bill of Rights provides protection for taxpayers' privacy and property during their interactions with Department employees. The Department of Revenue has a Taxpayer Rights Advocate who can help ensure that those rights are protected during the tax assessment, collection, refund denial, and enforcement processes.

Please keep in mind that the Taxpayer Rights Advocate is not a substitute for the Department's normal administrative procedures for appealing a tax assessment. Taxpayers who believe that they have not been treated fairly by the Department should attempt to resolve their problems through normal channels. Taxpayers who have taken these steps, but still believe that their concerns have not been timely or fairly addressed, should contact the Taxpayer Rights Advocate.

To contact the Taxpayer Rights Advocate, call 850-488-2321 or write to:
