On June 20, 2025, the Governor approved Senate Bill 784, 2025 which is now Chapter 2025-164, Laws of Florida. Chapter 2025-164 amends Chapter 177, Florida Statutes, to require the Town to administratively approve a plat or replat that meets the statutory requirements for recording of plats and replats, which are set forth in Section 177.091, Florida Statutes.  The new law also sets forth a new requirement for acknowledging receipt of the plat or replat submittal and identifying any missing documents or information necessary to process the plat or replat submittal for compliance with Section 177.091, Florida Statutes. The Town is reviewing the applicable Town Codes and will bring forth any necessary amendments. In the interim, this Resolution designates the Planning and Zoning Division as the Administrative Authority to receive, review, and process plats or replat submittals. Additionally, the Town Administrator is the Administrative Official for approving, approving with conditions, or denying a plat or replat.
