The Citrus County Board of Commissioners will meet on September 2, 2026, to decide whether to appeal a circuit court decision in the case of Pine Ridge Property Owners’ Association, Inc. v.

It then adopted a motion to appeal on its own with a $30,000 spending limit (3-2). Later, during Open to the Public, the Board voted to reconsider that $30,000 motion (3-2) and then adopted a motion to accept the court's ruling and bring a future agenda item to amend the Land Development Code to protect previous decisions (5-0).
