Vacate & Abandonment of an Utility Easement

Requests for the Vacate and Abandonment of Utility Easements located within the unincorporated areas of Seminole County requires staff review and review by the Board of County Commissioners.

Utility Easement vacate requests are reviewed by the County Commission during their regular meeting.  (They do not require a scheduled public hearing.)  The application must be accompanied by letters of approval/disapproval from all utility companies that service the area.

The amount of time required for the processing of a request for Vacation and Abandonment of a utility easement depends on the type of request, submittal of required documents, and scheduling of the request for Board of County Commission action at a required meeting.  That time may vary from several weeks to a few months.

After approval by the Board of County Commissioners, the Resolution is recorded in the public records.  The applicant pays the Clerk's recording fee for recording the Resolution in the Public Records.

If, after submittal of your application, you should have any questions regarding the Vacate and Abandonment process, please contact the Development Review Office at (407) 665-7331.
