Land Use & Zoning
In Florida, a property owner who wants to use their property in a way not currently permitted by zoning must typically apply for:

Explanation
To use property in a way not permitted under current zoning, an owner may apply for a variance (a minor deviation from specific requirements) or a rezoning (a change to the zoning classification itself). The process involves the local government's planning/zoning board.
