municipalities in Florida is the tremendous difference in them. There are 411 municipalities in the state and no two are alike. During the decade from 1950 to 1960, more than 100 cities
in Florida were incorporated. More then 9.5 million Floridians reside in a city, town or village—equaling about 51 percent of the state population. The majority of Floridians—by a small
percentage—live in unincorporated county areas. City populations range from 8 (City of Weeki Wachee) to more then 800,000 (City of Jacksonville). Sixty percent of the 411 cities are
under 10,000 in population. Florida is a state composed of mostly smaller cities, with the median city population at 5,510. Florida’s cities have a suburban flavor, as none are as large
or urban as New York, Los Angeles or Chicago. Many of the cities were planned for retirees and do not have a central business area. A few are completely residential. Some grew up around
military basses and popular tourist destinations. The fishing and agricultural industries have also caused the creatiio of coastal cities, towns and villages. Every City is Full Service
Just as no two city charters are alike, each city’s menu of services is also different. A common practice among chambers of commerce and other promotional agencies is to label city and
county governments as “full service.” This is an unfortunaat label because it is hard to define—each city offers those services desired by its own citizenry. Some Florida cities do not
pave every street, have a centralized water or sewage system, or offer police, fire, or parks and recreation services. Some cities offer each one of these services and also offer natural
gas or electric utilities. For some cities, the most important service is building code standards and inspections, and planning and zoning. Some of these services are also offered by
special districts and counties, and are delivered to citizens both inside and outside of city boundaries. The most important aspect of municipal services is that the services are created
to meet the demands of the residents. Each Florida municipality is “full service” to its own citizens because the citizens determine which services will be provided.
Three good reasons to… Maintain Residential Landscaping • Preserve Property Values. Unmaintained landscaping can depreciate property values. A healthy, green landscape preserves and
increases your property's value, and protects your investmeent Regular irrigation and fertilization helps keep landscaping free of insects and disease. • Appearance. Maintaining Village
properties in an attractive, neat condition enhances the communiit image overall for residents and visitors alike. • It’s the Law. Chapter 15-2 Section 307.4. Care of premises. Landscaping
shall be maintained so as to present a healthy, neat and orderly appearannc at least equal to the original installation and shall be mowed or trimmed in a manner and at a frequency so
as not to detract from the appearance of the general area. To learn more about the Village Code of Ordinannce please visit www.village-npb.org or call (561) 841-3367. Become a permanent
