Overview

RULE:

62-818.002	Definitions
62-818.003	General Requirements and Eligibility Standards

PURPOSE:

Chapter 2011-142, Laws of Florida, transferred Florida Communities Trust (“FCT”) from the Department of Community Affairs to the Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”). As a result of that transfer, FCT rules were transferred to Chapter 62. Now, FCT is engaging in rulemaking for its terms and procedures to conform to DEP terms and procedures, specifically those related to appraisals and environmental site assessments. These revisions are necessary to achieve a more consistent, effective, and streamlined approach to implement the FCT program.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule amendments will amend terms and definitions to conform to current DEP terms and definitions. Specifically, definitions and procedures for appraisal related items will refer to Rule Chapter 18-1, which mandates how DEP handles appraisal services and reviews. Additionally, FCT will now utilize the term “grant agreement” rather than “grant contract” and will reference “maximum amount” rather than “maximum approved purchase price.”
