Please note Orange County has adopted a new comprehensive plan (“Vision 2050”) and updated regulations, including zoning, signage, landscaping, arbor, urban design and subdivision regulations among others (“Orange Code”), which are expected to become effective in mid-to-late July, 2025. The ordinances will become effective following state review and consistent with Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. For more information, including an up-to-date schedule on the ordinances related to Vision 2050 and Orange Code, please visit www.ocfl.net/vision2050.

Please be aware that the requirements of Vision 2050 and Orange Code may impact land development permit applications. In order to ensure a project is evaluated under the County’s current zoning regulations, a permit application must be submitted and deemed sufficient before the effective date of Vision 2050 and Orange Code. Any application submitted after the effective date of Vision 2050 and Orange Code will be reviewed consistent with the County’s newly adopted regulations. Special exception or variance applications allowed under current regulations may no longer be allowed upon the effectiveness of Orange Code and should be reviewed carefully.

Permits that do not require review under the zoning regulations and are only subject to the Florida Building Code are not affected by this notice. Examples may include, but are not limited to permits for windows, doors, roofing, etc.
