Subsection 40D-1.607(1), F.A.C., is amended to eliminate the fee to process a request to transfer an ERP to a new owner of the property on which the permitted surface water management system is located. Elimination of the fee is proposed as a means to increase compliance with permitting requirements, and will reduce costs to the public. The current fee, while minimal, can be a disincentive to transferring permits and results in compliance actions that are not cost-effective for the District. Amendment to Rule 40D-1.659, F.A.C., will list the Notification and Request for Transfer of ERP form, which is revised to eliminate reference to any required fee. Amendments to subsection (3) of 40D-1.607, F.A.C., will clarify the fee exemption for withdrawn or denied permit applications that are resubmitted within 12 months. Currently, the rule exempts from fee payment a resubmitted application only if it is for the same type of permit and for a substantially similar design. If a larger or more complex project is proposed on resubmittal, no exemption would be available, and the entire fee for a new application would be required. These limitations on fee exemption for resubmitted applications are being eliminated. Amendments will clarify that an application resubmitted within 12 months of withdrawal or denial is exempt from repayment of the application fee without regard to whether it is the same type of application and design. If the resubmitted application requires a larger fee that what was previously paid, only the increase in fee will be required. This allows applicants to redesign their projects as needed and still avail themselves of the fee credit for resubmitted applications.
