LDC 25-1224, Administrative Plat Approval

This proposed amendment to the Land Development Code (LDC) will modify the process to receive,

review, process and approve plats in accordance with Section 177.071, Florida Statutes. Prior to

177.071, Florida Statutes, was recently amended to provide that plats or replats must be administratively

approved and no further action or approval of a county’s governing body is required if the plat or replat

complies with the requirements of Section. 177.091, Florida Statutes. This LDC text amendment will

designate an administrative County official with the authority to approve plats.
