The purpose of this rulemaking is to incorporate some of the existing certification procedures from the Department’s Rule Chapter 12-9 (which is being proposed for repeal) into the Property Tax Oversight Program’s proposed new Rule Chapter 12D-19 and to establish additional certification procedures. The purpose of proposed new Rule 12D-19.001 (Definitions) is to define terms used in proposed Rule Chapter 12D-19. The effect of proposed Rule 12D-19.001 is that statements in the new rule chapter should be easier to understand. The purpose of proposed new Rule 12D-19.002 (Professional Certifications) is to describe the five courses offered by the Florida Professional Certification Program. The effect of this proposed rule is to inform those interested in obtaining a certification of the certifications they are eligible to pursue. The purpose of proposed new Rule 12D-19.003 (Qualifications for Certification) is to establish criteria for the professional certification of property appraisers, tax collectors, their employees, and employees of the Department. The effect of this proposed new rule is that anyone seeking professional certification is advised about the certification requirements. The purpose of proposed new Rule 12D-19.004 (Registration for Department-sponsored Coursework) is to specify procedures for persons who want to attend a course for the Florida Professional Certification Program and to provide a form for this purpose (DR-410E; Course Enrollment Form; Property Tax Oversight (PTO) Certification and Training). The effect of this proposed rule is that potential course participants have instructions for registering for courses this certification program offers. The purpose of proposed new Rule 12D-19.005 (Cancellations and Refunds) is to specify procedures for course registrants to cancel their registrations and receive refunds of their payments for courses. The effect of this proposed rule is to provide course registrants with a process to cancel their registrations and apply for refunds of any payments they made. The purpose of proposed new Rule 12D-19.006 (Application for Certification) is to adopt a form (DR-410, Application for Florida Professional Certification; Property Tax Oversight (PTO) Certification and Training) to apply for certification and to require supporting documentation that an applicant must submit with the application. The effect of this proposed rule is to provide applicants with instructions when applying for certification. The purpose of proposed new Rule 12D-19.007 (Certification Date) is to specify how the Department determines when a qualified applicant’s certification period begins. The effect of this proposed rule is that successful applicants will know how the Department determines the starting and ending dates of their certification period. The purpose of proposed new Rule 12D-19.008 (Certification Renewal) is to provide procedures for currently certified property appraisers and tax collectors to renew their certification and to adopt a form (DR-410CE, Application for Approval of Continuing Education Credit Hours; Property Tax Oversight (PTO) Certification and Training) for this purpose. The effect of this proposed rule is to tell certified property appraisers and tax collectors how to renew their certification. The purpose of proposed new Rule 12D-19.009 (Reinstatement) is to specify procedures for a previously certified property appraiser; tax collector; or an employee of the property appraiser, tax collector, or Department can follow to reinstate an expired certification. The effect of this proposed rule is to explain to previously certified persons how to reinstate their expired certifications.

The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12D-16.002 (Index to Forms), F.A.C., is to adopt new and amended forms to support the creation of new Rule Chapter 12D-19 (Florida Professional Certification Program).

Repeal obsolete forms (DR-516, DR-516E, and DR-591) to combine provisions into Form DR-410. The effect of the proposed changes to this rule is that property appraisers, tax collectors, employees of appraisers and collectors, and employees of the Department have forms they must use to participate in the Department’s professional certification program.
-
The purpose of the proposed repeal of all the rules in Rule Chapter 12-9 (Certified Florida Property Appraiser and Certified Florida Tax Collector Program), F.A.C. is to support the creation of proposed new Rule Chapter 12D-19 (Florida Professional Certification Program). Some of the procedures in existing Rule Chapter 12-9, F.A.C., are addressed in proposed new Rule Chapter 12D-19. The effect of the proposed repeal of this existing rule chapter is to eliminate the possibility of redundant rule provisions after proposed new Rule Chapter 12D-19 is adopted.

On December 10, 2015, the District's Governing Board issued SFWMD Order No. 2015-083-DAO-ROW to Project USA, LLC (Application No. 15-1102-2). The petition for waiver was received by the District on November 20, 2015. Notice of receipt of the petition requesting the waiver was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 41, No. 229, on November 25, 2015. No public comment was received. This Order provides a waiver of the District's criteria to allow a proposed commercial marina consisting of seawall construction, dredging, a boat ramp, a boat launch basin, a marginal dock with finger piers for 12 boat slips, mooring piles, a jet ski launch, rip-rap bank stabilization, buried water, and its associated overbank construction along the west right of way of C-10 beginning immediately north of Stirling Road and continuing north approx. 618 feet; Section 33, Township 50 South, Range 42 East; Broward County. Specifically, the Order grants a waiver from Rule 40E-6.011(4)&(6), Fla. Admin. Code, and the Basis of Review for Use or Occupancy of the Works or Lands of the District, incorporated by reference in Rules 40E-6.091(1), Fla. Admin.

Generally, the Order sets forth the basis of the Governing Board decision to grant the waiver as follows: 1) the proposed improvements will not interfere with the District's current ability to perform necessary construction, alteration, operation, and routine maintenance activities; and 2) the Order granting a waiver from the subject rule is based upon a substantial hardship.
