Right-of-way and driveway approvals follow roadway ownership in Sarasota County

Applies to: countywide

Flagged source reviewed 2026-10-15. How we check sources

Driveway access, utility work and construction in public rights-of-way may need approval from the agency that owns the road. County land-development pages identify County right-of-way and related infrastructure processes. State-road access is handled through FDOT; municipal streets use the local government. Confirm road ownership and the site jurisdiction before applying. StartFL does not determine roadway owner for an address.
