How Florida takes it
Florida only accepts online filing through E-Plan, and the fee is paid there too.
The file we build is the one this state works from.
The filing is due 1 March each year and covers the calendar year before it. Florida takes the filing, but your fire department still needs its own copy from you. Florida says the local emergency planning committee does not — so this is two recipients, not the usual three.
Before you send it — what else Florida asks for
Florida wants every maximum amount written out in pounds, not as a range code. The federal form lets you give a code for a bracket; Florida does not. Our worksheet already carries the pound figures, so you copy those across rather than working them back out. You can pay the fee by card or e-check when you file. Budget for it before you start — Florida charges by headcount, in three bands set out in its own How to Comply manual. Most sites are Category C, “all other facilities”: $10 per employee, $25 minimum, $2,000 maximum. Category A is $2.50 per employee, $25 minimum, $500 maximum, and covers industries under chapters 368, 527 or 376.303 of the Florida Statutes. Category B is $10 per employee, $25 minimum, $1,000 maximum, for agricultural facilities under the “routine agricultural use” exemption. Category B has a condition: it applies only “if they do not have present EHSs that meet or exceed the TPQ.” Late costs a lot. A first written notice “may assess a fee of up to $2,000,” and a second “an additional fee of up to $4,000.” The window also opens late — the report is “due between January 1 and March 1 each year,” so you cannot file in December. E-Plan covers the state and your LEPC. Ask your fire department how it wants the report: E-Plan, email or mail.
Does Florida set its own limits?
We have read Florida's own code and it uses the federal thresholds. That is a checked answer, not an assumption.
Florida uses the federal thresholds unchanged, but adds obligations the federal rule does not have. Under § 252.87(4) you must notify the division, the local emergency planning committee and the local fire department in writing within 30 days if you discontinue or abandon the facility. Government bodies are exempt from the § 252.85(1) fee. Filing goes through E-Plan.
The words we read
Fla. Stat. § 252.87 (2025), “Supplemental state reporting requirements”: (4) facilities with “quantities at or above the thresholds established under ss. 311(b) and 312(b) of EPCRA shall comply with the reporting requirements of ss. 311 and 312 of EPCRA.” (1) The Legislature “intends the reporting requirements of ss. 311 and 312 of EPCRA to apply to both the manufacturing sector and the nonmanufacturing sector.” (2) These requirements “are supplemental to the federal reporting requirements of EPCRA.”

Where we read this
- EPA, “State Tier II Reporting Requirements and Procedures” — Florida section, read 2026-09-06: “Florida only accepts online filing of Tier II reports and fee payment using E-Plan. Online payments may be made with credit card or bank account (e-check). Please Note: Florida requires all Tier II maximum amounts be listed in pounds (not range codes).”Florida Division of Emergency Management, “EPCRA How to Comply Manual” (floridadisaster.org), read 2026-09-07: “Facilities in Florida must use E-Plan for electronic submission of required notifications and payment of associated fees.” · “The Tier II Chemical Inventory Report is an annual requirement, due between January 1 and March 1 each year.” · The Section 312 fee table gives Category A (industries covered by chapters 368, 527 or 376.303, Florida Statutes) “$2.50 per employee, $25 minimum, $500 maximum”; Category B (agricultural facilities under the “routine agricultural use” exemption, eligible “only if they do not have present EHSs that meet or exceed the TPQ”) “$10 per employee, $25 minimum, $1,000 maximum”; and Category C, “all other facilities,” “$10 per employee, $25 minimum, $2,000 maximum.” · On late filing, under Fla. Stat. § 252.85(3)(a)(b), “the first late notice may assess a fee of up to $2,000” and “a second notice may assess an additional fee of up to $4,000.”E-Plan, User’s Guide, read 2026-09-07: “You can use the Import Tier2 function to import an existing Tier2 Submit export file (ZIP), Tier2 submission file (T2S), or CAMEO export file (ZIP) into your E-Plan account,” and its FAQ has a page for exactly that. So the file we build goes across instead of being retyped; you still complete the fields Florida adds and pass E-Plan’s validation before submitting.Florida Division of Emergency Management, “EPCRA How to Comply Manual” (revised 2025, floridadisaster.org), read 2026-10-12: “Florida facilities must submit their Tier II reports electronically using E-Plan. E-Plan satisfies the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) and Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) notification requirements.” and “Important: Contact your local fire department to determine their preferred method of receiving notification (E-Plan, email, or mail).”Checked 2026-09-07
