The Leon County Board of County Commissioners believes that strong and united neighborhoods are the foundation of our community, and Leon County, in collaboration with the City of Tallahassee and the Council of Neighborhood Associations (CONA), established the Neighborhood Recognition Program to celebrate the accomplishments and successes of our great neighborhoods.

The Leon County Neighborhood Recognition Program recognizes outstanding neighborhoods in three categories: Small (200 or fewer homes), Large (more than 200 homes), and Unincorporated Area (outside the city limits). Winning neighborhoods will win a sign to display at their entrance and bragging rights having been selected as Leon County’s 2008 Neighborhood of the Year.

Nomination forms are also available for the County Neighbor of the Year award to recognize individuals who have significantly contributed to the quality of the life within their neighborhoods.
