The Privacy Act regulates the use of SSNs by government agencies. When a Federal, State, or local government agency asks an individual to disclose his or her Social Security number, the Privacy Act requires the agency to inform the person of the following: the statutory or other authority for requesting the information; whether disclosure is mandatory or voluntary; what uses will be made of the information; and the consequences, if any, of failure to provide the information.
The Florida Legislature changed Florida Statutes to require Property Appraisers statewide to obtain and maintain social security numbers for all residing property owners who receive a homestead exemption.
This law (reference Chapter 196.011, Florida Statutes), provides that social security numbers are required for all homestead exemptions for the year 2000 assessment roll and thereafter and must be submitted to the Department of Revenue as part of the tax roll approval process.
Pursuant to
Section 193.074, Florida Statutes, your return is strictly confidential when filed with our office. Interested persons may
not obtain a copy of it through Florida's Public Records Act, as it is exempt from public disclosure.
