40C-1.603: Permit Fees
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of this rulemaking is to adopt and charge a fee when a request for modification of a consumptive use permit (CUP) is submitted by letter. Currently, if a letter modification request qualifies under Rule 40C-2.331, F.A.C., then the District does not charge a fee for the modification. As part of related proposed rule amendments to Chapter 40C-2, F.A.C., the scope of allowed letter modifications will be expanded to include modifications that currently cost more than the proposed fees for letter modifications.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: The proposed rule amendment would: (1) create a $100 fee for letter modifications of Chapter 40C-2, F.A.C., (individual) CUPs; and (2) create a $50 fee for letter modifications of Chapter 40C-20, F.A.C., (standard general) CUPs.
