Welcome and thank you for visiting our FAPA website!

It is my honor to serve as President of The Florida Association of Property Appraisers.  The Florida Association of Property Appraisers (FAPA) is comprised of constitutionally elected property appraisers from around our state representing over 80% of the total taxable real estate value and population in the state of Florida.  Our association works with members of both the Florida Senate and Florida House of Representatives to facilitate and support property tax policy beneficial to our constituents.

FAPA members routinely meet to monitor legislative bills, provide our expertise to legislators, and communicate with other agencies on important issues.  During last year’s legislative session, our association spearheaded the expansion of the Total and Permanently Disabled First Responder Exemption to include federal law enforcement members and the surviving spouses of the first responders employed by the US Government.  Additionally, FAPA helped create and pass legislation making it easier for totally and permanently disabled veterans to receive a refund on property taxes paid for a newly acquired homesteaded property.

I am proud of the work FAPA has accomplished and look forward to our continued work with our community stakeholders.

Sincerely,
Marty Kiar, President
