We’re Listening Help Us Improve the Development Review Process

The City of Sanford is taking important steps to improve how development projects are reviewed and approved. We’ve launched a new initiative to make the process more efficient, transparent, and customer-focused — for residents, developers, business owners, and our internal team.

We’ve partnered with Raftelis, a national consulting firm, to lead a deep dive into our Development Review Process. Together, we’ll be looking at what’s working, what needs improvement, and how we can better serve our community.

Have you applied for any type of permit with the City of Sanford in the past 5 years?
We want to hear from you.

As part of this effort, Raftelis will be interviewing external stakeholders to gather feedback on their experience with the permitting and review process.

If you’re interested in participating, please email:
amy.michaels@sanfordfl.gov
Include your name, address, and telephone number.

This is your chance to have a voice in shaping a better process — and a better Sanford.

We know this conversation may bring strong opinions, and that’s okay. We’re here for it. This is all about moving forward — together.

Stay tuned!
