Jacksonville right-of-way and site development are separate reviews in Duval County

Applies to: jacksonville

Flagged source reviewed 2026-10-16. How we check sources

For a site served by Jacksonville, work that disturbs, excavates, obstructs or places construction/material in a City road, right of way or easement follows the Development Services right-of-way permit path, sometimes called a driveway, culvert or utility permit. Confirm road and easement ownership rather than assuming every Duval road is City controlled. Development Services also handles site development, plats, roadway review and floodplain processes. These reviews are separate from the building permit. Use the official project forms and applicable review path before starting work; municipal or state-owned roads can require a different authority.
