The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 40, No. 66 of the Florida Administrative Register on April 4, 2014. The subject of this Petition is an interpretation of subsection 633.322(2), Florida Statutes. Specifically, the petitioner has asked whether a special district may act as a permitting authority and, if so, whether the county and municipality sharing the geographical space of the special district may also assert permitting authority. The Division of State Fire Marshal determined Chapter 633 does not impose any restrictions or limitations on the permitting authority of a special district, county, or municipality. Therefore there is no limitation regarding duplicate permitting in Chapter 633.
