Enacted in 2026 · Effective in 2027
Section 6 of Chapter 2026-7 adds F.S. 163.3194(7) effective . Its appearance in a 2026 statute compilation does not make it operative on September 5, 2026.
The forthcoming provision addresses specified residential compatibility decisions. It has exceptions for matters such as development within PUDs and certain historic districts, and it does not guarantee approval. Existing planning law and applicable local standards continue to govern before its start date.
01 / Know the documents
Planning coordinates growth with services, access, conservation, and compatible uses. Zoning regulates land use under the government's police power to protect public health, safety, and welfare.
Set the policy
Coordinates future growth, land use, infrastructure, conservation, and other required elements. Its future land use map expresses adopted planning policy; it is not the zoning map.
The future land use element identifies where residential growth is planned.
Apply the standards
Implement the plan through permitted uses, density, intensity, setbacks, subdivision requirements, and other development rules. They must be consistent with the adopted plan.
A district sets the permitted uses and minimum lot area.
Decide the application
Apply the relevant requirements to a proposed project. A favorable future land use designation alone does not supply every zoning approval, building permit, or environmental authorization.
The owner submits a subdivision or site plan for the required review.
F.S. 163.3194 requires consistency. During an inconsistency, the most recently adopted comprehensive plan governs action on a development-order application, and the regulation must be brought into conformity. That rule does not automatically issue the applicant every permit needed to build.
Study capital improvements, future land use, transportation, infrastructure, conservation, recreation and open space, housing, intergovernmental coordination, and property rights. Coastal local governments also address coastal management. Requirements within the elements depend on the applicable statutory provisions.
The syllabus uses some older labels, including traffic circulation and DEO. Current law identifies the Department of Commerce as the state land planning agency. F.S. 163.3177: comprehensive plan elements · F.S. 163.3164: planning definitions and Department of Commerce
Police power regulates use. Eminent domain involves taking property for public use with just compensation, subject to legal requirements. Public zoning approval also does not automatically remove an enforceable private deed restriction.
02 / Who makes the decision?
Read which body is acting and in what capacity. A planning agency, the local governing body, and the state land planning agency have different responsibilities.
The local governing body designates and ordinarily establishes it by ordinance, unless otherwise established by law. Governments may share an agency. The governing body may also designate itself as the planning agency, subject to the statutory school-representative requirement.
The local planning agency is responsible for preparing the plan or amendment and recommending adoption. It holds at least one noticed public hearing before its recommendation. The governing body adopts by ordinance. Other staff or consultants may help prepare the plan; final recommendation stays with the planning agency.
A school-board-appointed representative attends the specified first-review meetings involving plan amendments and rezonings that would increase residential density. The default status is nonvoting, although the governing body may grant voting status. Do not memorize a universal number of local planning board seats.
The local ordinance and applicable law allocate that authority. Planning agencies also monitor the plan and perform assigned duties. The fact that an agency recommends comprehensive-plan adoption does not mean it automatically makes every final development decision.
03 / Choose the right route
Start with the fact that makes the proposal different. Is there a qualifying hardship, a listed conditional use, a previously lawful use, or a request for a new classification?
A standard creates a qualifying hardship
Limited relief from a development standard, commonly a setback or similar dimensional requirement. An unusual lot shape may support an application, but approval still depends on the governing criteria. A preference for a larger building is not automatically a qualifying hardship.
A setback variance does not rezone the parcel or automatically authorize a prohibited use.
The ordinance anticipates the use
Approval of a use the code allows subject to stated standards and conditions. Local terminology varies. If the code lists a use as conditional, follow that approval route and satisfy its requirements.
The use is already contemplated by the district. This is not a change to the zoning map.
The use was legal before the rule changed
An established lawful use no longer conforms after a zoning change. Continuation, enlargement, rebuilding, abandonment, and changes of use depend on applicable law and the local code.
Prior lawful status matters. Operating illegally for a long time does not automatically create it.
The owner seeks a different zoning classification
A change to the zoning map or classification through the required process. If the proposal also conflicts with the adopted comprehensive plan, rezoning alone does not solve that conflict.
Check whether a plan amendment is also needed. Neither approval is automatic.
These are exam distinctions. Local codes determine the available relief and process, subject to state law. The label alone is not an approval. FREC Course I syllabus, Section 19 (printed pages 56–59) · F.S. 163.3202: land development regulations and PUD definition

04 / Classify the development
The syllabus uses these broad groups. A local code supplies the actual district names, allowed uses, and standards.
Homes and apartments
Density, lot area, setbacks, and coverage
Shops and offices
Intensity, parking, height, and building size
Manufacturing and distribution
Emissions, noise, traffic, and separation from incompatible uses
Farms and related uses
Land suited to agricultural activity
Schools, hospitals, or other specialized uses
The district or use category specified by the local code
Residential density concerns units per land area. Commercial intensity concerns the scale of use, such as floor area or development activity. A special-use category is different from a special-exception approval procedure. FREC Course I syllabus, Section 19 (printed pages 56–59)
A PUD treats the project as an integrated whole. Its approval may coordinate building types, uses, open space, and circulation with project-wide controls. It is not an exemption from all zoning or building requirements.
Match development with required public services. Statewide concurrency covers sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, and potable water. Local governments may apply concurrency to additional facilities.
The required services must be available no later than the certificate of occupancy or its equivalent under F.S. 163.3180(2). Do not assume every road, school, and park is subject to a statewide mandate.
DRI concerns development with substantial effects beyond its immediate locality. It is not another name for a PUD. Existing DRI approvals and changes are governed by F.S. 380.06; read the current procedures instead of assuming an older textbook review process still applies unchanged.
05 / Subdivision math
The syllabus explicitly asks you to calculate lot yield from acres, reserved land, and minimum lot size. Write the units first, and leave any fractional lot out of the answer.
Whole lots = round down [acres × 43,560 × (1 − reserved percentage ÷ 100) ÷ minimum lot area in square feet]
Hypothetical study calculation. Setbacks, frontage, density limits, wetlands, access, utilities, and layout can reduce the actual yield. This result is not a subdivision approval. Displayed areas round to four decimals; whole-lot counts use the entered decimal values without rounding up.
06 / Check each requirement
A restaurant can be an allowed use while its proposed kitchen still needs construction and sanitation compliance. One approval does not answer every question.
Regulates use and development form, including density, setbacks, height, and coverage. A buffer can separate incompatible uses.
Sets technical requirements for construction and related work. A permit authorizes the specified work; inspections check compliance. A certificate of occupancy concerns authorized occupancy or use after the applicable requirements are met.
Addresses public-health conditions, such as sanitation. Zoning approval and building-code compliance do not remove applicable health requirements.
R-value measures resistance to heat flow. A higher R-value means greater insulating resistance. A certificate of occupancy concerns approved occupancy or use; it is different from the permit that authorizes work.
The adopted statewide edition at this guide's cutoff is the Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023), effective December 31, 2023, with applicable amendments. A draft code update is not automatically the governing edition.
07 / Complete the Section 19 review
A permitted use does not establish that the property is safe to develop. Learn what each issue requires you to investigate and which source governs it.
FEMA administers the National Flood Insurance Program. Participating communities adopt and enforce floodplain-management requirements. A Flood Insurance Rate Map identifies flood zones. A Special Flood Hazard Area is associated with the 1% annual-chance flood. That is an annual probability, not a promise of one flood per century.
For a covered loan secured by a building or mobile home in an SFHA in an NFIP-participating community, flood-insurance requirements apply, subject to statutory exceptions. The rules include federally regulated or insured lenders, not just FHA or VA loans. Outside a mapped high-risk area, flooding remains possible and a lender may still require coverage.
Under the federal minimum rule for covered new or substantially improved residential buildings in AE and similar zones, the lowest floor, including a basement, generally must be at or above base flood elevation. Coastal high-hazard zones have additional requirements. Applicable Florida and local rules can require a higher elevation; do not treat a general study rule as site-specific construction approval.
Superfund liability can reach current owners or operators, owners or operators at the time of disposal, arrangers, and certain transporters. It can be strict and retroactive, and joint and several when the harm cannot be divided. Buying after contamination does not alone eliminate exposure; defenses and landowner protections have conditions.
An EIS is part of environmental review for qualifying major federal actions with significant environmental effects. It evaluates impacts and alternatives. It is different from a routine home inspection, and an ordinary property sale does not automatically require one.
Most pre-1978 housing is subject to federal lead-disclosure requirements before the buyer or renter is bound. Known information, available reports, the pamphlet, and required disclosures matter. A buyer's inspection opportunity and a seller's disclosure obligations are separate.
Asbestos-containing materials can release harmful fibers when disturbed. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas; testing identifies its level. Moisture control is central to mold prevention. Recognize the concern and refer testing or remediation to an appropriately qualified professional.
The syllabus also names well and public-water quality, septic systems, contaminated soil, underground storage tanks, chemical contamination, and wood-destroying organisms or decay. Identify which investigation is needed. A zoning classification does not certify that a site is free of these problems.
Try before you reveal
Answer before opening the explanation. For each one, name the fact, date, or calculation that decides the result.
Worked scenario 01
A triangular residential lot makes a standard garage setback difficult to meet. The owner proposes the same permitted residential use. Which application best fits the requested relief?
A variance application, subject to the applicable hardship criteria.
The owner seeks relief from a dimensional standard. The lot shape explains the request, but it does not guarantee approval. Changing the zoning classification would address a different question.
Worked scenario 02
The district lists a daycare as a conditional use if specified parking and compatibility standards are met. Must the owner start by seeking a new district classification?
No. Apply through the code's conditional-use procedure.
The ordinance already anticipates this use. The applicant must satisfy its standards. If a different proposed use is prohibited, the available route may instead involve rezoning and possibly a plan amendment.
Worked scenario 03
A store was lawful before the area became residential. Its owner now proposes a major expansion. Does the lawful nonconforming status automatically permit the expansion?
No. Check the rules for enlarging that nonconforming use.
The use's prior legality explains its status. It does not create an unlimited right to enlarge, rebuild, or resume after abandonment. The applicable law, approvals, and local code decide those issues.
Worked scenario 04
A 10-acre parcel reserves 20% for streets and facilities. Each residential lot must contain at least 10,000 square feet. Using only these area assumptions, how many whole lots fit?
34 whole lots, with 8,480 square feet left after those lots.
10 × 43,560 = 435,600 square feet. Keep 80%: 348,480 square feet. Divide by 10,000 to get 34.848. Round down to 34 whole lots. The leftover area does not meet the minimum for a 35th lot, and an actual layout may yield fewer.
Worked scenario 05
A September 5, 2026 study note says the new compatibility provision in Chapter 2026-7, Section 6 is already in effect because the Governor signed the act in March. Is that correct?
No. Section 6 takes effect January 1, 2027.
The act has different effective dates. Section 6 expressly delays the added subsection 163.3194(7). The act's general effective-date clause does not override that specific date. Existing planning law and local standards still apply before then.
Worked scenario 06
An FDIC-supervised lender makes a covered conventional loan secured by a home in an SFHA in a participating community. Assume no exemption applies. Does the lack of FHA or VA insurance remove the flood-insurance requirement?
No. A covered conventional loan can also trigger the requirement.
Check the lender, collateral, mapped area, community participation, and applicable exceptions. The mandatory-purchase rules are not limited to FHA and VA loans. Separately, a property outside the high-risk area can still flood.

Choose a question to review its answer, the reasons the other choices fail, and the supporting sources. No quiz completion or account is required.
Try each question before opening its answer. These are original practice items, not actual or recalled Pearson VUE exam questions.
Question 1 · zon-1 · Plan and zoning consistency
Answer B. The most recently adopted comprehensive plan
The most recently adopted comprehensive plan governs action on the application during the inconsistency. The land development regulation must be brought into conformity. A favorable plan designation still does not dispense with the other applicable approvals.
Remember: A future land use map and a zoning map do different work. Do not treat either as a building permit.
A. The conflicting regulation until the zoning map is updated
The statute does not let an inconsistent regulation override the most recently adopted plan.
C. The applicant’s preferred interpretation of the two documents
An applicant cannot choose which legal standard controls.
D. Whichever document would permit the greater density
The law does not choose the document that allows the most intensive development.
Sources: F.S. 163.3194: plan consistency; see session law for delayed subsection (7)
Report a problem with zon-1Question 2 · zon-2 · Recommend versus adopt
Answer D. The local planning agency makes the final recommendation, and the governing body adopts the plan by ordinance
The local planning agency is responsible for the plan’s preparation and final recommendation. It holds at least one noticed public hearing before recommending the plan or amendment. The governing body adopts by ordinance. Other staff or consultants can help with preparation.
Remember: The roles remain distinct even if the same body is designated to perform both.
A. The planning agency adopts the plan, and the governing body merely recommends it
This reverses the recommendation and adoption roles.
B. The state land planning agency adopts every city and county plan
The Department of Commerce has state planning functions, but it does not adopt every local plan.
C. The local planning agency has no public-hearing duty before its recommendation
F.S. 163.3174 requires at least one noticed public hearing before the recommendation.
Sources: F.S. 163.3174: local planning agency · F.S. 163.3184: plan adoption and amendment
Report a problem with zon-2Question 3 · zon-3 · Variance and hardship
Answer A. A variance
A variance is the appropriate type of request for this dimensional relief. The facts concern the setback on a particular lot, not a different use or district. Approval depends on satisfying the applicable criteria; an unusual shape alone is not an automatic approval.
Remember: Identify the requested relief. A setback variance does not automatically authorize a prohibited use.
B. A special exception for a use listed as conditional
A special exception concerns a use the ordinance allows subject to conditions. This request is for setback relief.
C. A declaration that the proposed garage is an existing lawful nonconforming use
The proposed garage is not an established lawful use that later became nonconforming.
D. A comprehensive-plan amendment changing the area’s future land use
The facts do not call for changing long-range land-use policy.
Sources: FREC Course I syllabus, Section 19 (printed pages 56–59)
Report a problem with zon-3Question 4 · zon-4 · Special exception or conditional use
Answer C. A special exception or conditional-use application under that ordinance
The ordinance already anticipates the use and sets conditions for approval. The applicant follows that process. This differs from rezoning, which changes the classification, and from a variance addressing relief from a development standard.
Remember: Read the allowed-use table first. Local codes may use different names for their conditional approval process.
A. A setback variance based only on the owner’s preference
The stated issue is approval of a listed use, not relief from a setback hardship.
B. Rezoning, because every conditional use requires a different district
A use already allowed conditionally does not necessarily require rezoning.
D. Lawful nonconforming status, because the use has not yet been approved
An unapproved proposed use does not acquire lawful nonconforming status.
Sources: FREC Course I syllabus, Section 19 (printed pages 56–59)
Report a problem with zon-4Question 5 · zon-5 · Lawful nonconforming use
Answer B. A lawful nonconforming use
The store was lawful before the rules changed and now fails to conform. That explains lawful nonconforming status. Limits on continued operation, expansion, rebuilding, abandonment, and changes of use must be checked separately.
Remember: Prior legality is essential. Nonconforming status is not an unlimited expansion right.
A. A use that was unlawful from the day it opened
The question expressly says the store complied when it opened.
C. A newly granted variance
No variance was requested or granted in these facts.
D. A special exception automatically issued by the zoning amendment
A zoning amendment does not automatically issue a special-exception approval.
Sources: FREC Course I syllabus, Section 19 (printed pages 56–59)
Report a problem with zon-5Question 6 · zon-6 · Zoning, building, and health rules
Answer A. Zoning approval does not replace building-code and applicable health compliance
A project can satisfy its land-use requirements while still needing construction, permitting, and health compliance. Zoning concerns permitted use and development form. Building codes govern technical construction matters, while health rules address public-health conditions.
Remember: Different approvals answer different questions. One favorable decision does not clear every requirement.
B. Zoning approval automatically establishes technical construction compliance
Land-use approval does not show that structural, electrical, or other technical requirements have been met.
C. Building-code compliance is required only when a property is rezoned
Building-code duties are not limited to properties seeking rezoning.
D. Health requirements replace both zoning and building standards
Health rules do not replace the separate zoning and construction requirements.

Report a problem with zon-6Question 7 · zon-7 · Subdivision lot calculation
Answer D. 34 lots
Convert first: 10 × 43,560 = 435,600 square feet. After the 20% reserve, 348,480 square feet remain. Divide by 10,000 to get 34.848, then round down to 34 whole lots. An actual layout may yield fewer because of other requirements.
Remember: Subtract reserved land before dividing, and never round a fractional lot up.
A. 43 lots
43 counts lots before subtracting the 20% reserved for streets and facilities.
B. 35 lots
Rounding 34.848 up would create a lot without enough area under the assumptions.
C. 8 lots
Eight is the usable acreage after the reserve, not the number of 10,000-square-foot lots.
Sources: FREC Course I syllabus, Section 19 (printed pages 56–59)
Report a problem with zon-7Question 8 · zon-8 · Enacted versus effective law
Answer C. It was enacted, but Section 6 sets its effective date as January 1, 2027
Section 6 expressly sets January 1, 2027 as the effective date for the new compatibility subsection. The act was signed in March 2026, but its general effective-date clause yields to the specific delayed date. Do not apply this subsection as an operative rule at the September 5, 2026 cutoff.
Remember: The year of enactment is not necessarily the date a particular section takes effect.
A. It became effective when the act was signed on March 27, 2026
The specific effective date in Section 6 overrides the act’s general effective-date provision.
B. It automatically approved every residential rezoning beginning July 1, 2026
Neither that date nor automatic approval is established by Section 6.
D. It could take effect only after every local government voted to adopt it
The enacted section supplies its effective date; it does not make commencement depend on unanimous local adoption.
Sources: Chapter 2026-7, Section 6: compatibility rule effective January 1, 2027
Report a problem with zon-809 / Match the published scope
The candidate booklet supplies these headings and the 1% weight. Section 19 of Course I supplies the wider learning objectives covered in this guide.
Composition, public hearings, recommendation, adoption, and assigned authority.
Plan elements, consistency, concurrency, and the distinction between enacted and effective law.
Future land use, development review, PUDs, and subdivision-area calculations.
Classifications, zoning relief, nonconforming uses, building codes, and health ordinances.
Flood and environmental objectives are covered in the guide and related study links. The eight scored questions do not test every objective. Question 8 checks an effective-date distinction; it does not present the future compatibility subsection as a current exam rule. DBPR sales associate exam outline, Section XIX (1%) · FREC Course I syllabus, Section 19 (printed pages 56–59)
Try the quiz before reading the guide. For a missed answer, identify the document, decision-maker, or fact that changes the result. Then work through the matching example without looking at its answer.
Planning and Zoning is 1% of the published exam outline, about one question on a 100-question exam. Section 19 of the Course I syllabus also includes subdivision math, planned unit developments, flood insurance, and environmental hazards. The study guide covers that broader scope; the eight-question quiz is a focused sample.
Use the law applicable to the date in the question. Chapter 2026-7 was enacted in 2026, but Section 6 expressly delays the new residential compatibility subsection until January 1, 2027. It was not yet effective at this guide’s September 5, 2026 cutoff.
Florida planning and zoning questions
The published sales associate outline assigns this topic 1%, with headings for the local planning agency, the Growth and Community Planning Act, the planning process, and zoning laws and code enforcement. Course I Section 19 also includes lot calculations, PUDs, flood insurance, and environmental hazards. The eight scored questions are a sample; the guide covers the broader learning objectives.
The comprehensive plan sets long-range policy and includes future land use and other required elements. Zoning implements that framework with development rules for particular districts and parcels. A future land use designation is not a building permit, and a zoning classification is not a substitute for the adopted plan.
F.S. 163.3194 requires consistency. During an inconsistency, the most recently adopted plan governs action on a development-order application and the regulation must be brought into conformity. That does not remove the need to meet other applicable approval requirements.
It is responsible for preparing the comprehensive plan or amendment, holding at least one noticed public hearing before its recommendation, making the final recommendation to the governing body, and monitoring the plan. It also performs duties assigned by law or the governing body. The governing body adopts the plan by ordinance and may itself be designated as the planning agency.
The statute provides a nonvoting representative for the specified first-review meetings involving residential-density increases, but the governing body may grant voting status. F.S. 163.3174 controls the requirement. Do not assume every local planning agency has the same number of members or identical delegated powers.
A variance commonly grants limited relief from a dimensional standard when the applicable criteria are met. A special exception or conditional use concerns a use the ordinance already allows subject to conditions. The local code controls terminology and procedure, and neither route automatically changes the zoning classification.
No. A lawful nonconforming use complied when established but no longer conforms after the rules changed. A use that was illegal from the beginning does not acquire that status merely through age. Continuation, expansion, rebuilding, and abandonment rules must be checked under applicable law and the local code.
Rezoning changes the zoning classification. A comprehensive-plan amendment changes the plan’s policy, text, or map. A proposal can need both if the desired zoning or development would otherwise conflict with the plan. Approval of one does not automatically grant the other.
Residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and special use. Local district names and allowed-use lists vary. Special use as a classification should not be confused with the special-exception procedure for a conditionally allowed use.
A PUD plans and reviews a project as an integrated whole rather than applying every subdivision and zoning control only to individual lots. It may coordinate housing types, open space, circulation, and other uses under its approval. It remains subject to the applicable plan, regulations, and approval conditions.
F.S. 163.3180 identifies sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, and potable water. Local governments can extend concurrency to additional facilities. The required water and related services must be available to serve the new development no later than issuance of the certificate of occupancy or its equivalent, subject to the statute.
Multiply acres by 43,560, keep the fraction remaining after streets and other reserved land, then divide by minimum lot area in square feet. Round down to whole lots. Ten acres with 20% reserved and a 10,000-square-foot minimum yields 34 lots on area alone. Actual site design and other restrictions can reduce the count.
No. Zoning addresses land use and development form; the Florida Building Code addresses technical construction requirements; health rules address public-health conditions. A project can satisfy one and still need work or approval under another.
No. Section 6 of Chapter 2026-7 expressly takes effect January 1, 2027. The act’s March 2026 enactment does not move that section’s effective date forward. The forthcoming subsection also contains scope limits and exceptions; it does not automatically approve every residential application.
It describes a probability in each year. It does not mean flooding occurs only once in 100 years or that a recent flood removes the risk of another. FEMA flood maps identify hazard areas, but a property outside a mapped high-risk zone can still flood.
No. Covered conventional loans from federally regulated or insured lenders can also trigger mandatory flood-insurance requirements when the building or mobile home securing the loan is in an SFHA in a participating community. Apply the relevant exceptions and lender requirements. The loan type alone does not decide the answer.
Yes, ownership can create potential liability even if the buyer did not cause the original contamination. CERCLA identifies several classes of potentially responsible parties and provides conditional defenses and protections. Environmental due diligence and any required continuing obligations matter.
