Attend Commission Meeting, if Necessary

Depending on the type of covenant you're applying for, you may need to obtain a City Commission Resolution. You will be notified if this step is necessary as well as when your covenant will be added to the Commission agenda. 

• If Commission approves your covenant, you may move forward.
  NOTE: If you have a Non-standard improvement related to the State's Right-of-Way under FDOT's MMOA, you must get the MMOA signed by FDOT, then bring back to The City at the address above. 
• If your covenant is denied, you will need to make changes to your proposal.
