The Live Local Act, SB 102, was signed by the Governor and became law effective July 1, 2023 (Ch. 2023-17, Laws of Florida). Section 5 of SB 102 imposes both incentives and mandates relating to local government regulation of the use, height, and density of qualifying affordable housing projects. Many municipal attorneys, planners, and elected officials have a variety of questions about the implementation of the provisions of Section 5 of SB 102. This is a link to a Memorandum of Law and FAQ document that may assist you with some of the most common questions pertaining to Section 5 of SB 102.
