RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:
12D-16.002Index to Forms
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12D-16.002, F.A.C., is to revise various value adjustment board (VAB) forms to incorporate statutory changes enacted in Chapter 2016-128, L.O.F.; amend the VAB forms to integrate other minor changes, like updating incorrect statutory references; and repeal an obsolete form, DR-455, Renewable Energy Source Device Exemption Application, that taxpayers used to apply for an exemption. The effect of these statutory changes will result in the removal of any parts of the forms which implement stricken statutory language (e.g., petitioner checking the appropriate box on the petition form to request a copy of the property record card), the addition of minor changes in terminology (e.g., replacing the term “agent” with “representative”), and the update of the forms to include new language (e.g., written authorization requirements to access taxpayer’s confidential information). The following forms will be amended: Form DR-481, Value Adjustment Board - Notice of Hearing; DR-486, Petition to Value Adjustment Board – Request for Hearing; DR-486DP, Petition to the Value Adjustment Board – Tax Deferral or Penalties – Request for Hearing; DR-486PORT, Petition to the Value Adjustment Board-Transfer of Homestead Assessment Difference - Request for Hearing; Form DR-485V, Decision of the Value Adjustment Board – Value Petition; Form DR-485WCN, Value Adjustment Board – Clerk’s Notice; Form DR-485WI, Value Adjustment Board – Withdrawal of Petition; Form DR-485XC, Decision of the Value Adjustment Board – Exemption, Classification, Assessment Difference Transfer, Change of Ownership or Control, or Qualifying Improvement Petition. The statutory changes also will result in the promulgation of the following new forms: Form DR-486A, Written Authorization for Representation Before the Value Adjustment Board; and Form DR-486POA, Power of Attorney for Representation Before the Value Adjustment Board. The effect of repealing DR-455 is removing a form that is now statutorily excluded. Currently property appraisers do not assess for renewable energy source devices per s. 193.624, F.S.
Rule text and proposed draft forms are on the Department’s website at: http://dor.myflorida.com/dor/property/legislation/rules/.
SUMMARY: The proposed amendments to Rule 12D-16.002, Index to Forms, incorporate changes to various VAB forms to bring them into compliance with current administrative procedures and remove an obsolete form, DR-455.
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 an SERC was triggered under Section 120.541(1), F.S.; and, 2) based on past experiences with activities for providing the public tax information 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 SERC, or to provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
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.
