Leon County Planning Department

Who We Are

The Tallahassee-Leon County Planning Commission (hereinafter called "Planning Commission") was duly established by virtue of an interlocal agreement dated September 26, 1967, between the County of Leon and the City of Tallahassee. This agreement designates the Planning Commission as the entity responsible for comprehensive area  wide planning within the City of Tallahassee and Leon County. The Planning Commission is also the duly designated Local Planning Agency (LPA) and Land Development Regulation Commission pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes and the Transportation Planning Advisory Committee (TPAC) to the Metropolitan Planning  Organization pursuant to Chapter 339, Florida Statutes. Duties and responsibilities of the Planning Commission are set forth in the interlocal agreement, the Planning Commission Bylaws, and the ordinances of the City of Tallahassee and Leon County. 

What We Do

The Planning Commission is composed of three members appointed by the Board of County Commissioners of Leon County, three members appointed by the City Commission of the City of Tallahassee and one member selected by the School Board of Leon County and appointed by the City and County Commissions. 
 
Members serve at the pleasure of the governing body which appointed them.
