Growth and Environmental Management (GEM) is a group of divisions and programs within Leon County which provides one-stop permitting and processing services related to development activities.  In order to assist you, staff has developed this site as a guide through the permitting and processing services. If you are familiar with Leon County permitting, you can use our Fast Track links to download the permit application you need.

GEM's offices, which are located on the second floor of the Renaissance Center at 435 N. Macomb Street, also include a large conference room that is available for use by Leon County and City of Tallahassee employees and community-based organizations as a meeting area and/or professional space.  For more information, please click on the link below or contact GEM at 606-1300.
