Laurie,

I have worked in a very large organization and a relatively small one. In both cases I had only the "owning department" sign off on records destruction forms. In the smaller organization, there was no separate "Tax" or "Legal" department to send them to. In the very large one, (a county gov't), I couldn't have imagined every receiving back a disposal request that I sent to them for another department's records. They'd just never have gotten around to it. It was considered the owning department's responsibility to know whether or not a pending audit or litigation existed for their records. 

This is based on my experience alone, more limited than others', to be sure.
