The Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan touches on almost every facet of our quality of life - it addresses things like delivery of public services, mobility, the environment and culture, and a myriad of other issues that matter to Pinellas County's citizens, visitors and businesses. Its goals are long-range and are essentially a community vision; the objectives and policies in the Comprehensive Plan direct and prioritize the actions that are necessary to make progress towards, and achieve, the goals. The Comprehensive Plan is required to be financially feasible to implement and it must be dynamic; as the community changes (through development and redevelopment) the Plan can be amended to adapt to new circumstances, opportunities and conditions so that, at all times, it provides sound guidance to decision-makers.

The Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners approved a major update to the Comprehensive Plan on March 18, 2008, based on a multi-year process of analysis, review and public input.

The updated Comprehensive Plan is now available online via the links below.
