This document is a Consumer's Certificate of Exemption issued by the State of Florida for Broward County Board of County Commissioners, located in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The certificate is valid from 10/31/2022 to 10/31/2027 and falls under the County Government exemption category. It certifies that the organization is exempt from paying Florida sales and use tax on real property rented, transient rental property, tangible personal property purchased or rented, and services purchased.

The document provides six key guidelines for exempt organizations, including requirements to provide the exemption certificate to vendors before tax-exempt purchases, using the certificate solely for customary nonprofit activities, and understanding that individual purchases on behalf of the organization may be taxable.
