Existing Land Use 2020

The Existing Land Use Map was developed by the Tallahassee-Leon County Planning Department in the 1970s and has been updated annually since 2005 to reflect changes in current land use. Existing land use is parcel based with each parcel assigned a single land use. Utilizing new construction permits completed in the past year, the land use for parcels are updated to reflect the new construction (or demolition) that was completed. The existing land use classification is comprised of 20 primary land use categories: Single-Family Detached, Single-Family Attached, Two-Family Dwelling, Multi-Family, Hotel-Motel, Medical, Retail, Office, Warehouse, Government Operation, Schools/Colleges/Universities, Open Space (5 categories), Religious-Non-Profit, Transportation/Communications/Utilities, Water, Vacant Each land use category is further broken down into 49 sub-types or “patterns”. Every reasonable effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of these data, however accuracy is not guaranteed. Users with questions or comments should email the Planning Department or call 850-891-6400.
