Emergency Rule 12DER07-09, F.A.C (Disclosure and Certification of Compliance; Option to Prefile Documents). This rule adopts and incorporates by reference three maximum millage levy calculation disclosure forms: one for use by counties (Form DR-420C), one for use by municipalities (Form DR-420M), and one for use by independent special districts (Form DR420I). Also, this rule adopts and incorporates by reference two documents used to certify compliance with the provisions of Chapter 200, Florida Statutes: Form DR-487P can be used by a county, a municipality, or an independent special district to prefile the appropriate DR-420C, DR-420M, or DR-420I with the Department of Revenue; if the governing body does not choose the option of prefiling, it must file the appropriate DR-420C, DR-420M, or DR-420I form, along with Form DR-487, with the Department. In addition, the rule adopts and incorporates by reference a form to record the vote of a governing body on its final adoption of its 2007-2008 millage levy. This rule requires that each taxing authority, other than a school district, must certify to the Department its adoption of an ordinance or resolution levying a millage, as provided in Florida law. The rule explains that a county or municipality, dependent special district of a county or municipality, or any municipal service taxing unit of a county is subject to notification that it is in violation of state law if the total county or municipal property taxes exceed the maximum total county or municipal taxes. This rule explains the alternative available under the legislation, instead of forfeiture of half-cent sales tax revenues by a county or municipality where total county or municipal property taxes exceed the maximum total county or municipal property taxes. The alternative is for one or more taxing authorities which have their taxes included in the maximum total taxes levied to reduce their millage by an amount that reduces total taxes levied to an amount that no longer exceeds the maximum total taxes levied. This rule explains that, if a county or municipality, dependent special district of such county or municipality, or municipal service taxing unit of such county does not remedy the noncompliance with state law or does not recertify compliance with state law, the county or municipality will forfeit distribution of local government half-cent sales tax revenues for the period of twelve months following the determination of such noncompliance with state law.
