Frequently Asked Questions
- How is The Villages affecting clearing demand near Leesburg?
- The Villages is one of the world's largest retirement communities, and its northward expansion into Lake County around Leesburg drives high-volume residential lot clearing. The development pace in this corridor is among the most consistent in Central Florida.
- Are there lake setback requirements for the Harris Chain near Leesburg?
- Yes — Lake Harris, Lake Griffin, and the other lakes in the Harris Chain fall under SJRWMD jurisdiction with shoreline vegetation buffers and setback requirements. Clearing within the lake's jurisdictional zone requires SJRWMD Environmental Resource Permit review.
