Land Development Code Update

Introduction

The City of Niceville is updating its Land Development Code (LDC) to ensure our development standards reflect the community’s vision for the future. The updated code will guide how land is used and developed, supporting a balance of growth and neighborhood character. We invite residents, business owners, and stakeholders to share feedback and ideas to help shape a modern, user-friendly code that meets Niceville’s long-term needs.
