Role/jurisdiction: Rural/suburban county (Lecanto, Homosassa, Citrus Springs); SR 44 / US 19 / Suncoast Parkway corridors are FDOT District 7. The cities of Inverness and Crystal River run their own land development codes — county review is unincorporated only. Development engineering review sits in Public Works Technical Services (Plans Review Section); zoning/building in Growth Management; the LDC is published by the Land Development Division.
Known starting points (resolved 2026-07-08 unless tagged):
- The governing transportation document is LDC Chapter 7 — Transportation System Standards (Ord. 2025-A04, 2025-03-11): access management, parking, ROW, road design, and driveway aprons all live in this one chapter — linked below.
- The MPO is the Hernando/Citrus MPO (hosted on Hernando County’s site) — its counts/LOS products cover Citrus County roads.
