The bill amends section 177.071 of the Florida Statutes to require that certain plat or replat submittals be administratively approved without further action from the governing body of a county or municipality, provided they comply with existing requirements. It mandates that the governing body designate an "administrative authority" responsible for receiving, processing, and reviewing these submittals. 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 must approve or deny the submittal within a specified timeframe, and if denied, must provide a written explanation of the reasons for denial.

The bill also creates a new section, 177.1115, which 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 issued 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.
