Florida law at a glance
- Zoning and land development rules are set by each Florida city and county, so the requirements vary by location.
- The Florida Land Use and Environmental Dispute Resolution Act (section 70.51, Florida Statutes) offers a special magistrate process for some development decisions.
- The Bert J. Harris, Jr., Private Property Rights Protection Act (section 70.001) can provide relief when government action inordinately burdens property, if its notice and timing requirements are met.
