459 Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights compiles, in one document, brief but
460 comprehensive statements that summarize the rights and
461 obligations of the property appraisers, tax collectors, clerks
462 of the court, local governing boards, the Department of Revenue,
463 and taxpayers. Additional rights afforded to payors of taxes and
464 assessments imposed under the revenue laws of this state are
465 provided in s. 213.015. The rights afforded taxpayers to assure
466 that their privacy and property are safeguarded and protected
467 during tax levy, assessment, and collection are available only
468 insofar as they are implemented in other parts of the Florida
469 Statutes or rules of the Department of Revenue. The rights so
