How does ROGO affect new construction timelines?

By Steve Conley

Short Answer

ROGO adds significant time to new construction projects in the Keys. Between allocation wait times, permitting, and inspections, the timeline from land purchase to occupancy can extend several years depending on the tier and category.

Even after securing a ROGO allocation, the permitting and construction process in the Keys is lengthy. Environmental reviews, marine permitting, and hurricane season scheduling all add time. Realistically, plan for 18 to 24 months from allocation to certificate of occupancy.
