A copy of such resolution must be filed with the Department of Financial Services and the Auditor General. A copy of the resolution should also be furnished to the Department of Revenue in order for the Department to determine which tax collectors are not required to file a budget with the Department of Revenue.
    (b) Tax collectors who, by special acts, are changed from a fee officer to a budget officer.
    (c) Chartered counties (e.g., Broward, Volusia, Dade, Duval and Sarasota) are to be guided by the provisions of their county charter.
