SARASOTA COUNTY'S LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND ZONING REGULATIONS ARE NOW COMBINED WITHIN THE NEW UDC AS CHAPTER 124 OF THE COUNTY CODE

The Sarasota County Commission adopted the new Unified Development Code (UDC) on November 27, 2018 with an effective date of January 1, 2019. The UDC updated and combined the county's Land Development Regulations (former Chapter 74 of the County Code) and Zoning Regulations (former Appendix A of the County Code). Combining the Land Development and Zoning Regulations streamlines the ability to find significant regulatory information applicable to any given piece of property within unincorporated Sarasota County, and clarified the two regulatory codes as they were brought together. It also removed inconsistencies and addressed those provisions that were outdated, ineffective or obsolete.

The County wishes to thank all of the participants that contributed to this effort. Your dedication to the community is greatly appreciated.Please stay involved and check back with the UDC web page for further refinements and additional tools that will be added to the site as the UDC is implemented.

Sarasota County invites all interested individuals to access and review the UDC on the county web page at www.scgov.net (Keywords: 'UDC').
