SLC Land Development Code Now Available Online

In an effort to provide accurate and updated public access to St. Lucie County's Land Development Code (LDC), the Board of County Commissioners recently approved utilization of Municipal Code Corporation for publication of the county's LDC.

The benefits of conversion to the Municode version include:

• Municode is the current industry standard for code publication in the State of Florida. Most of the city and county codes in Florida are published by Municode. Those familiar with using codes know to look on the Municode website before contacting the local jurisdiction for copies of ordinances.
  
• Creation of a standardized code that will be maintained and updated on a regular basis. The code will be available and maintained on-line and newly adopted ordinances will be available on-line shortly after being adoption. Hard copies of new ordinances which will be provided to the County on quarterly basis.

All of the above will dramatically reduce the incorrect versions of the Land Development Code in circulation. It will also eliminate the sporadic and/or inconsistent updating of all codes.

The complete, revised LDC is now available online at http://www.municode.com/. Links to Municode are available through the Growth Management section of St. Lucie County's website at http://www.stlucieco.gov/.
