Frequently Asked Questions

Rezoning (also called a "zone change") is the legislative process of changing the zoning designation assigned to a specific parcel of land. Every parcel in a municipality is assigned a zoning classification - such as R-1 (single-family residential), C-2 (general commercial), or I-1 (light industrial) - that dictates what can be built there.

Tracking rezoning in Lake County surfaces zoning and development signals early, so developers, investors, and brokers can evaluate parcels and approvals before they reach the broader market.

The Board of County Commissioners (BCC) makes the final decision on rezoning requests in unincorporated Lake County. The Planning and Zoning Board, an advisory board, first holds a public hearing and makes a recommendation, which is then transmitted to the BCC for its own public hearing held in the County Commission Chambers on the second floor of the County Administration Building in Tavares. Municipalities within the county (such as Clermont, Leesburg, Mount Dora, and Tavares) handle zoning inside their own city limits.

The Lake County Planning and Zoning Board is an advisory board to the Board of County Commissioners. It is responsible for reviewing proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan, zoning (rezoning petitions), conditional use permits (CUPs), and mining site plans, and for making recommendations on these applications to the BCC. It does not issue final approvals itself; the BCC takes final action.

The Planning and Zoning Board typically meets on a Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. in the County Commission Chambers on the second floor of the Lake County Administration Building in Tavares to consider rezoning petitions. Its recommendations are then forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners, whose public hearings are also held at 9:00 a.m. in the same County Commission Chambers. Confirm exact dates on the county's published public hearing rezoning schedule, since meeting dates can vary.

Lake County's zoning rules are contained in the county's Land Development Regulations, published as Appendix E of the Lake County Code of Ordinances and hosted on the Municode Library. The code covers zoning district regulations, definitions, schedules of permitted and conditional uses, and administration. The version on Municode is codified current through recent ordinances (Ordinance No. 2026-3, adopted January 20, 2026, at the time of review).

Lake County's official zoning map uses letter-and-number district codes, including Agriculture (A); residential districts such as R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, R-6, R-7, RP, and RMRP; commercial districts C-1, C-2, C-3, and CP; manufacturing/industrial districts LM, HM, and MP; the Community Facility District (CFD); and Planned Unit Development (PUD). Each district's permitted and conditional uses and site standards are defined in the county's Land Development Regulations. Every rezoning must also be consistent with the parcel's Future Land Use Category under the Comprehensive Plan.
