New County System

Hernando County has successfully transitioned to the Hernando County Civic Access system. The temporary modified operations period has concluded, and all services, including online services, are now fully operational.

The new system is designed to enhance efficiency, improve user experience, and provide better access to permitting and licensing services for our community.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation during the transition period and look forward to serving you through our upgraded platform.
