This is a live stream test for Thursday's meeting. Learn more at www.EngageHernando.com/Trees

Hernando County is undertaking a comprehensive rewrite of Chapter 10 of the County Code, which governs Community Appearance Regulations in unincorporated Hernando County. The proposed update would repeal and replace the current chapter with clearer, modernized standards addressing landscaping, tree preservation and protection, buffers, land clearing, irrigation, invasive plant species, fences, and related administration and enforcement. The goal is to support responsible growth, protect community character and natural resources, respect property rights, and make the regulations easier to understand and apply. Hernando County invites residents, property owners, businesses, development professionals, and other interested community members to attend a town hall and community roundtable on the proposed rewrite of Chapter 10 of the Hernando County Code, Community Appearance Regulations.
