The bill amends section 177.071 of the Florida Statutes to require that preliminary plat or replat submittals be reviewed and approved administratively by designated officials from the appropriate local governing body. These designees must complete their review for compliance within 15 days of receiving the submission and provide written comments to the applicant if the submission does not meet the necessary requirements. Additionally, the bill stipulates that the final decision on the plat or replat must be made within 30 working days, unless a written extension is requested by the applicant and approved by the governing body. Notably, the bill prohibits any official or agent from requiring the applicant to file for an extension.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new section, 177.1115, which mandates that the appropriate governing body must 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 business day of delay. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
