The mission of the Community Development Department is to maintain or find ways to improve the characteristics of the City of Brooksville that make it aesthetically, economically, and developmentally attractive to residents, businesses, and property owners. The Department strives to preserve Brooksville’s unique way of life and enhance it at the same time to ensure the protection of property and continuation of a high standard of living within the corporate City limits for current and future residents.

These goals are met on a daily basis as the Community Development Department assumes the responsibility of providing assistance to City property owners and developers relating to land use, property development, addressing, zoning, concurrency requirements, land use code requirements, and comprehensive plan standards, as well as long term planning. The Department provides assistance and guidance to individuals with questions pertaining to petition requirements for subdivision plats, development site plans, special exceptions, variances, zoning changes, property annexations, comprehensive plan amendments, and rights-of-way vacations, among others.
