This document is a Consumer's Certificate of Exemption issued by the state of Florida for the Broward County Board of County Commissioners, located in Fort Lauderdale, with a certificate number 85-8013924140C-7. The certificate is effective from 10/31/2022 to 10/31/2027 and falls under the County Government exemption category. It provides tax exemption for the organization from Florida sales and use tax on real property rented, transient rental property, tangible personal property purchased or rented, and services purchased.

The document outlines six important guidelines for exempt organizations, including the requirement to provide an exemption certificate to vendors before making tax-exempt purchases, using the certificate solely for customary nonprofit activities, and understanding that individual purchases on behalf of the organization may be taxable. The certificate warns that fraudulently presenting the document to evade sales tax is a criminal offense, potentially resulting in a penalty of 200% of the tax and subject to third-degree felony conviction.
