Orange County Public Schools

In order to process a School Capacity Determination for purposes of Capacity Review and/or Concurrency, OCPS must conduct an analysis under the rules set forth in the Orange County Charter, the 2008 Amended Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and Implementation of Concurrency, and the 2011 First Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and Implementation of Concurrency.

The School Capacity Determination must find that schools and/or Concurrency Service Areas impacted by a proposed development have sufficient capacity to accommodate the students projected to be generated by the proposed development. If capacity is not available, the property owner may require joint jurisdictional approval of Future Land Use and/or Zoning applications or enter into a Concurrency Mitigation Agreement (CMA) to address the deficiency.

***All applications and the resulting determinations are valid for six (6) months***

Concurrency review for projects located within unincorporated Orange County is handled by Orange County, not OCPS. Please apply for School Concurrency through Orange County's Concurrency Management Office (LINK). Do not use this application.
