Agritourism The bills would amend the statutory preemption on local government regulation of agritourism activities by prohibiting a local government from requiring a “certificate of use” for any agricultural land, facility or agritourism venue unless authorized by general law. In addition, the bills prohibit a local government from limiting any state-regulated activity associated with agritourism, including a farm stand, farmers market, brewery, winery, distillery, food processing and preparation activity, food truck or mobile food service operation associated with agritourism agricultural products.
Residential Building Permits These bills would significantly reduce the time period for local governments to issue certain building permits and require the reduction of permit fees.
Land & Water Management These bills would require local governments that create larger buffers zones for development around waterways rather than state minimums to pay to acquire the additional land through eminent domain and would preempt to the state any regulation of dredge and fill activities.
Trees on Residential Properties This bill would repeal the previously approved statute that placed conditions upon property owners regarding the removal of trees and would prohibit local governments from requiring the planting of replacement trees.
