Overview

Department of Revenue Electronic Database

PURPOSE:

The Geographic Names Information System Feature Identifier (GNIS Feature ID) has superseded the Federal Information Processing Standards 55 (FIPS 55) database place code as the federal and national standard geographical feature record identifier.
Effective October 3, 2009, the Department’s Address/Jurisdiction Database, maintained by the Department for purposes of assigning communications service addresses and insurance policies and premiums to local taxing jurisdictions, contains a combination of both GNIS Feature ID place codes and FIPS 55 place codes. The FIPS 55 place code will remain as a field in the database. Local taxing jurisdictions submit address/jurisdiction changes to the Department using the Guide for Address Change Requests. This guide contains the required record layout using the specified place codes.
The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12B-8.0016, F.A.C. (Department of Revenue Electronic Database), is to adopt, by reference, updates to the Guide for Address Change Requests necessary to the Department’s Address/Jurisdiction Database to include the GNIS Feature Identifier place codes.

SUMMARY:

The proposed amendments to Rule 12B-8.0016, F.A.C. (Department of Revenue Electronic Database), adopt changes to the Guide for Address Change Requests to the Department’s Address/Jurisdiction Database necessary to include the Geographic Names Information System Feature Identifier places codes.
