The Florida Legislature has provided that all leasehold estates, or any possessory interest created thereby, in property of the United States, the State of Florida, or any of its 
political subdivisions, municipalities, agencies, authorities, or other governmental units, are to be taxed as intangible personal property if the leased property is undeveloped 
or predominately used for a residential or commercial purpose, and rental payments are due in consideration of the leasehold estate or possessory interest.  Lessees of 
governmentally owned property are required to file an annual intangible tax return, unless the leasehold estate qualifies for specific exemptions, beginning with the 1984 tax year.
If the calculated tax due is less than sixty dollars ($60), no payment is required.  However, the taxpayer should file this return without payment so the Department is 
aware that no tax is owed and will not take collection action(s) regarding this filing period.
Our records are computerized and all information is maintained by account number.  Your account number is your Social Security Number (SSN) or Federal Employer Identification 
Number (FEIN).  Please refer to these numbers in all correspondence.  Show your correct number on your return.  Social security numbers are used by the Florida Department 
of Revenue as unique identifiers for the administration of Florida’s taxes. Social security numbers obtained for tax administration purposes are confidential under sections 
213.053 and 119.071, Florida Statutes, and not subject to disclosure as public records.  Collection of your SSN is authorized under state and federal law.  Visit our Internet site at: 
floridarevenue.com and select “Privacy Notice” for more information regarding the state and federal law governing the collection, use, or release of SSNs, including authorized 
exceptions.
