Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR)


 

Brief Overview

EAR LogoPursuant to Section 163.3191, F.S., "each local government shall adopt an evaluation and appraisal report (EAR) once every seven years assessing the progress in implementing the local government's comprehensive plan."  The Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has established a phased schedule for the adoption of EARs based on the requirements in Section 163.3191(9), F.S., as amended in 1998. 

Palm Beach County's EAR

Palm Beach County's EAR was adopted by the BCC on October 19, 2004. On October 22, 2004 the EAR was submitted to DCA. A letter of sufficiency from DCA was received on January 4, 2005. All EAR-based amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are due 18 months after DCA finds the EAR sufficient.  The detailed Timeline for completing the County's EAR is included in this page.  It spans from February of 2003 through June of 2006, including the 18 months to adopt all EAR-based comprehensive plan amendments.  For more information visit the links on the left column.
