Find cases: SyfertCases citing this section FLRulesflrules.org (official) ChapterChapter 12D-8 CornellLII Search CasesGoogle Scholar

(1) The appraiser shall include on the roll a code reference to the tax return showing the property, and need not give a description of such property on the roll. The account number may be adopted as the code to indicate the reference to the return, provided the property appraiser places the account number on the return.

(2) Classification of property by class type.

(a) The property appraiser shall classify tangible personal property to convey the actual current use of the property and indicate the same on the assessment roll. Where property has more than one use, it shall be classified under the category which represents its primary and predominant use. It is the primary and predominant use that will govern the classification. Possessory interests shall be classified according to the use of the property by the possessor.

(b) The classification shall be based upon six primary groupings of the major use type categories, with sub-classifications of the primary groupings of the major use type categories. The primary groupings of major uses are:

1. Retail.

2. Wholesale.

3. Manufacturing.

4. Leasing/Rental.

5. Services.

6. Special.

(c) The following is a detailed explanation of the minimum use type classifications for tangible personal property and a numeric code designation for each. The classifications are based on classification codes as set forth in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987, as published by the Office of Management and Budget, Executive Office of the President, and, as such, the code numbers may be out of sequence. It is recommended the user refer to the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987, for detailed description of property use. This listing is intended to facilitate the determination of classification, particularly in special and questionable kinds of property and is not intended to list every possible use which might occur in the state. Upon request, the Department of Revenue will inform the appraiser of the classification under which specific property uses not listed below should be placed.

(3)(a) Effective January 1, 2002, the property appraiser shall classify tangible personal property on the assessment roll according to the classification system set out in the 1997 North American Industry Classification System-United States Manual (NAICS), and any subsequent amendments thereto, as published by the Office of Management and Budget, Executive Office of the President, hereby incorporated by reference in this rule. The NAICS classification system will replace the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes currently described within this rule. Effective January 1, 2002, the Department of Revenue will not accept assessment rolls which classify personal property using either the class code system defined in Rule 12D-8.009, F.A.C., as amended on September 30, 1982, or with SIC codes currently identified in this rule. Information on how to obtain any documents described within this rule may be obtained from the Property Tax Oversight Program, Florida Department of Revenue, (850)717-6570.

(b) The NAICS classification system, a 5-digit and/or 6-digit classification system, is to be used in Field Number 6 of the STANDARD N.A.P. File described in paragraph 12D-8.013(6)(c), F.A.C. Conversion from existing classification systems may be completed prior to the conversion deadline. Assessment rolls submitted prior to full conversion to the NAICS system may contain classification systems which use any of the three aforementioned classification systems. Upon submission of the first assessment roll containing other than the class code classification system, the Department must be notified in writing of the conversion methods used on the assessment roll. Field Number 5 should be completed with an alphabetic character indicating the coding system used for the assessment roll. If reporting by original class codes in Field Number 6, enter code “C” in Field Number 5. If reporting the SIC codes in Field Number 6, enter code “S” in Field Number 5. If reporting the NAICS code in Field Number 6, enter code “N” in Field Number 5.

(c) To facilitate Florida-specific property tax administrative needs, the Department of Revenue recommends the following special code numbers, not currently contained within the NAICS system:
