Where Jacksonville and Duval County post legal notices: City Council agendas, land use hearing notices, Clerk foreclosure sales and Florida Public Notices. This is an index only.

Last checked Oct. 9, 2026. This page is an index for convenience. It is not the official publication of any notice. The legally required notice is the one in the publication or on the official website named by the government that issued it.

Several bodies post notices that affect Jacksonville residents: the consolidated City of Jacksonville (City Council, the Planning Department and city boards), the Duval County Clerk of Courts, Duval County Public Schools and the courts. Each publishes its own. This page points you to each official source and summarizes what is coming up.

Land use notices

The Planning Department posts a notice for each pending change to the Future Land Use Map of the 2045 Comprehensive Plan. Each notice names the site, the current and proposed land use, the applicant and every hearing date. On Oct. 9 the Land Use Notices page listed 13 small-scale and two large-scale applications, plus two proposed text amendments: Ordinance 2026-631, on marina slips in the central business district, and Ordinance 2026-632, on compatibility.

Applicants must post signs about every 200 feet along the property’s street frontage, the city says. Written comments can go to the Planning Department before its staff report and to the City Council’s Legislative Services Division before the hearing.

Zoning cases

Exceptions, variances and waivers go to the Planning Commission, which meets twice a month on Thursdays in the Ed Ball Building. Its agendas and results are on the Planning Commission page. See our building permits and zoning guide.
