Introduction
The City of Deland is launching a 16-month initiative to update its Land Development Regulations (LDRs).

These LDRs are intended to implement Deland’s well thought out community vision plan and comprehensive plan, resolve duplications and conflicts, clarify and consolidate language, streamline development processes, update outdated regulations, and enhance overall efficiency. We invite you to stay informed and involved as this important process unfolds!
