Future Land Use

Abstract

The future land use data represents areas that are assigned a future land use designation by an unincorporated county or an incorporated city.

In some counties, the county government provides unified future land use data set.

Purpose

Each county and municipality in Florida are required to create a future land use map that guides future development and re-development.

In some counties, the county government or a regional planning agency provides unified future land use maps that cover the entire county.

Horizontal Accuracy

Spatial accuracy varies depending on how the future land use polygons are mapped. Many agencies utilize parcel data to align future land use boundaries, which creates very accurate boundaries. However, some agencies use much less accurate base maps for reference and accuracy is unknown.
