12D-2.001: Definitions
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of the proposed amendment to Rule 12D 2.001, F.A.C. (Definitions), is to add a definition of “centrally assessed property” to fully implement the exemption in Section 196.183, Florida Statutes, for such property consistent with procedures for assessments of such property to be certified to the property appraiser by the Department of Revenue as required by Section 193.085, F.S.
SUMMARY: The proposed amendment to Rule 12D-2.001, F.A.C., adds a definition of Centrally Assessed Property as requested by Joint Administrative Procedures Committee.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:
The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the agency.
The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: 1) no requirement for the Statement of Economic Regulatory Costs (SERC) was triggered under Section 120.541(1), F.S.; and 2) based on past experiences with activities for providing the public tax information and rules of this nature, the adverse impact or regulatory cost, if any, do not exceed nor would exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria in a SERC, as set forth in Section 120.541(2)(a), F.S.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
