Overview

The Planning and Design Office provides planning and community development services that guide the development of Osceola County. These services ensure the orderly growth and development of the County and that all land development is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

Osceola County, located in the high-growth Central Florida region, provides a distinctive blend of rural life and all the benefits of its proximity to a major metropolitan area. It is the sixth largest Florida county in acreage. The county seat of Kissimmee is the largest municipality and the gateway to Disney World. Osceola County’s natural attractions include 878 lakes with Lake Kissimmee, consisting of 35,000 acres, being the largest.
