You will need to remit fees at the time of application submittal. Checks should be made payable to the Osceola County Board of County Commissioners. Your property should be located on a county-maintained road that has enough capacity to accomodate any extra traffic generated by the potential development of that parcel. Also, central water and sewer may be required, depending on the intensity of the land use change. Applications will be reviewed for compliance with the Osceola County Comprehensive Plan, as well as for compatability with adjacent and surrounding land uses.
All amendments are subject to the regular public hearing process.
County staff review the applications and provide a recommendation the Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners. Applicants and other interested parties have the opportunity to address these items at the public hearings. After review by the board, amendments are forwarded to the Florida Department of Community Affairs for final review. Applications for small scale amendments are accepted anytime, but typically are scheduled for public hearings in two week intervals. A schedule of these deadlines is available from the Planning Department.
