Why does the NOI require Tax IDs/Parcel Numbers or legal descriptions?
Voluntary BMP Programs are an alternative to regulatory programs as tools to address water quality issues relative to agriculture. BMP Programs within the Department are available to growers as a result of statutory provisions established by the Florida Legislature. In order to maintain your access to these alternative BMP Programs in the future, it is important for the Department to report the success of the program to the Legislature. Success is typically measured by the acres of a particular agricultural commodity participating in the appropriate BMP Program. Tax IDs and/or parcel identification numbers (PINs), as obtained from your local tax assessor’s office, are the preferred and most accurate means for reporting the level of participation in our programs.
