Understanding the Public Hearing Process

How residents can be more effective in Sarasota County development decisions

Most residents believe the public hearing is where development decisions begin. It’s not. By the time a proposal reaches the Planning Commission or County Commission, much of the work has already happened. This page shares CONA’s public hearing process presentation, flyer, and helpful County resources so residents can better understand when and how to get involved.
