Background:
During the 2024 legislative session, the Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 812 which requires that Counties with more than 75,000 residents establish a process to expedite the issuance of building permits for residential subdivisions prior to the recording of a final plat.
As Seminole County exceeds the population threshold, this Ordinance creates a program to expedite the issuance of building permits for residential subdivisions before a final plat is recorded in accordance with Florida Building Code and is intended to ensure that the County is in compliance with the requirements of Senate Bill 812.
Requested Action:
Request the Board of County Commissioner approve the Ordinance amending Part 2 (procedures for securing approval of plats) of Chapter 35 (subdivision regulations) of section 35.6 (home construction prior to plat recording) of the Land Development Code of Seminole County to establish an expedited residential subdivision building permit issuance process pursuant to Section 173.073, Florida Statutes and Section 35.44 of the Land Development Code (required submittals for final plat) to require as-built engineering plans for expedited building permits; providing for conflicts; providing for codification in the Land Development Code of Seminole County; providing for severability; and providing an effective date.
