ROGO & Building Permits

ROGO is one of the most important and misunderstood aspects of buying property in the Florida Keys. The Rate of Growth Ordinance controls how many new building permits are issued each year, and understanding how it affects your property is essential.

This section is being built out with detailed answers. In the meantime, here are the questions currently available under this topic:

What do I need to know about ROGO before buying land in the Florida Keys? What is ROGO and how does it work? How long does a ROGO allocation take? Can I build on vacant land in the Keys? What is the ROGO tier system? Does an existing home with a CO bypass ROGO? How does ROGO affect property values? What happens if my ROGO allocation expires? Can I add square footage to an existing Keys home? What permits do I need for dock or seawall work? How does ROGO affect new construction timelines?
