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 earn a sign to display at their entrance and bragging rights for having been selected as Leon County’s 2010 Neighborhood of the Year.

Included in the packet is a nomination form for the County Neighbor of the Year Award to recognize individuals who have significantly contributed to the quality of the life within their neighborhoods.

Neighborhood of the Year Application Packet

The application will be made available at a later date.

Neighborhood representatives must complete and deliver/mail their applications to the Leon County Public Information Office before the deadline: To Be Announced. Late submissions will not be considered.

If you live within the city limits, you may also apply for the City of Tallahassee Neighborhood of the Year Award.  The application will be made available closer to the time of the event.

If you have any questions, please contact the Leon County Public Information Office at (850) 606-5300 or email pio@leoncountyfl.gov. We look forward to another exciting year for all of Leon County’s neighborhoods!
