Florida Live Local Act, as amended July 1, 2026 (Ch. 2026-179): what it allows on a lot
Live Local Act, as amended July 1, 2026 (Ch. 2026-179) is Florida law, and the official source is at flsenate.gov.
A county or city must allow apartments and mixed use buildings on land zoned commercial, industrial or mixed use when at least 40 percent of the homes are affordable for 30 years, at the highest density and height allowed within a mile, without a rezoning, and may not use setbacks or stepbacks to cut the height.
Whether it applies to one lot turns on where the lot is and what it is zoned; the city, county or state office named in the law decides. Mapped areas are approximate. This is a plain reading of public law with its source, not legal advice.
