What is the ROGO tier system?

By Steve Conley

Short Answer

The ROGO tier system categorizes building permit applications based on the type and scale of development. Different tiers have different allocation pools, timelines, and requirements. Understanding the tiers is essential for anyone planning to build in the Keys.

The tier system is how Monroe County ranks land for development priority. Tier I is environmentally sensitive and hardest to build on. Tier III is infill and easiest. Knowing a property's tier classification before you buy tells you how difficult and expensive the permitting process will be.
