General Information
What are the permit fees?
Dixie County Permit Fees are established by the Dixie Board of County Commissioners and are payable to the Dixie County General Fund or the Dixie County Impact Fee Fund.
Along with the permits and fees required by Dixie County, you are responsible for any permits or fees required by the Dixie County Health Department, Florida Department of Transportation, Suwannee River Water Management District, Central Florida Electric, or Prograss Energy.
What are site plans?
A site plan is required, showing where your unit will be located on your property with the setback dimensions on the front, sides and rear.
In an Agricultural Zoning and Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) Zoning the minimum setback requirements from your property lines are 30 feet on the front and 25 feet on sides and rear.
In an ESA zoning a minimum 35-foot natural buffer shall be required from all wetlands and a 75-foot natural buffer shall be required from perennial river, streams, and creeks.
In an Agricultural zoning a minimum 35-foot natural buffer shall be required from all wetlands and a 75-foot natural buffer shall be required from perennial river, streams, and creeks.
If your property is not in either of these zonings, contact this department for your setback requirements.
FINES
To avoid a possible fine of up to $500.00 and double the price of the permit, anything you move or build on your property requires a permit.
