The bill amends Florida Statutes to streamline the process for approving plats and replats by requiring administrative approval rather than further action from the governing body of a county or municipality. It mandates that each governing body designate an "administrative authority" responsible for receiving, processing, and reviewing plat or replat submissions. The administrative authority must provide written notice to applicants within ten business days of receipt, detailing any missing documents and the approval process. Additionally, the authority is required to approve, approve with conditions, or deny submissions within a specified timeframe, and if denied, must provide a written explanation of the reasons for denial.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new section that requires the appropriate governing body to issue street and mailing addresses, along with individual parcel identification numbers, within 20 business days after the recordation of a plat. If this information is not provided within the specified timeframe, the addressing fee will be reduced by 10 percent for each day of delay. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
