DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE

RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

12-10.008Administration

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of the proposed amendment to Rule 12-10.008, F.A.C., is to repeal the form currently used to continue participation in the state revenue sharing. The Department of Revenue is no longer requiring the State Revenue Sharing Application, form DR-700218, to be submitted annually. The Department of Revenue determined that each local government already certifies the requirements of Section 200.065, F.S., to the Department’s Property Tax Oversight Program. Eliminating the application will reduce any duplication of information provided by the local governments, which will save time and financial resources.

SUMMARY: The proposed amendment to Rule 12-10.008, F.A.C., repeals form DR-700218.

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.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: 1) no requirement for the Statement of Economic Regulatory Costs (SERC) was triggered under Section 120.541(1), F.S.; and 2) based on past experiences regarding the procedures for processing written protests of assessments and rules of this nature, the adverse impact or regulatory cost, if any, do not exceed nor would exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria in a SERC, as set forth in Section 120.541(2)(a), F.S.

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.
