How a Property Rights Bill Became a Limit for County Land Use v. Cities

Where: Florida

What: SB 410 (2020 | FL)

How did SB 410 begin? As a requirement that local governments include private property rights in their comprehensive plans

What does the bill do now?

  • Prohibits counties from making any land use decision “that serves as a limitation” on a cities’ land use and zoning practices.
  • Cities can offer express consent for the county’s land use decisions
  • This need to express consent applies to current city limits but also any land that may annexed by a city
  • Applies to counties under 750,000

Florida Today | Our view: Governor should veto overloaded SB 410, which invites brawls on land use decisions
