CITY OF CLERMONT
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
TO: JPA Unincorporated Property Owner/Developer
FROM: Development Services Department
DATE: February 20, 2020
RE: Utility Service Agreement – Application
Properties proposed for development of any kind that are within the Joint Planning Area (JPA),
and adjacent to the corporate City limits of Clermont should consider annexation as a first step
for reviews.
Property owners/developers with developments being reviewed by Lake County should be aware
that they shall be subject to a completely separate review and permitting process by the City upon
annexation, in order to receive water and/or sewer utility services, and be able to proceed with the
development. Any reviews o approvals completed by Lake County prior to any City utility approvals,
shall be non-binding upon annexation. Annexation, review and approvals by the City are required.
In order to avoid two separate reviews (one by the County, and then one by the City), we highly
recommend annexing first. Rezoning and comprehensive plan amendment may occur at the same
time, as required by the City and Florida Statutes. Application are available at the City’s website:
www.clermontfl.gov under the Development Services Department section, Applications and Forms.
Properties that are not adjacent to the City limits, may request utility services by completing the
Utility Services Agreement Application. Reviews at the County are subject to City reviews in
accordance with JPA standards. Further conditions may be made part of the Utility Agreement.
Utility Agreements are approved by the Clermont City Council.
If you have any questions regarding this review process or the application needed, please call the
Development Services Department at (352) 394-4083.
