RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
12D-1.009: Mapping Requirements
12D-1.010: Reconciliation of Interim Tax Rolls - Form of Notification
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of the proposed amendment to Rule 12D-1.009, F.A.C., (Mapping Requirements) is to clarify reporting requirements for parcel numbers linked to the property maps. The uniform requirement addressed in this amendment is that the property appraiser shall maintain the full parcel number. The purpose of amending Rule 12D-1.010, F.A.C., (Reconciliation of Interim Tax Rolls – Form of Notification) is to conform with changes to Section 195.022, Florida Statutes, made by Chapter 2009-67, Laws of Florida, which remove requirements that the Department is to provide paper forms to the counties.
SUMMARY: The proposed amendment to Rule 12D-1.009, F.A.C., removes outdated language and clarifies reporting the parcel numbers on the tax rolls. The proposed amendment to Rule 12D-1.010, F.A.C., removes language instructing the Department to provide paper forms to the county offices.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:
The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the agency.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
