Deadlines

Development applications may be submitted to the Planning Division any time that City Hall is open.

The review schedules are different depending on the type of development application. After your application is submitted, a case planner will contact you to provide a schedule for the review. Applications are reviewed by the Technical Review Committee (TRC) for compliance with the Fire, Building, and Land Development Code.

The TRC meets the 3rd Tuesday of the following month at 9:00 am.  Meetings may be rescheduled as needed.  For more information regarding the next Technical Review Committee meeting, visit: Streaming Media | Safety Harbor FL - Official Website (cityofsafetyharbor.com)
