Site Plan Modification

The Tallahassee Land Development Code allows certain types of changes to a previously approved site plan to be processed as either a minor or major site plan modification.

To determine whether the changes you are proposing will be considered a "minor" or a "major" modification, please contact us at 850-891-7001, choosing option 4 or via email at zoning@talgov.com. Staff will provide a letter authorizing your submission as a "minor" or a "major" modification, based on the scope of work as outlined in Chapter 9 of the Land Development Code. The letter from staff must be uploaded with your modification application through the online application portal.

To complete the application submittal requirements, the applicant must upload a completed sign posting affidavit and two pictures of the posted sign.
