Promises Kept
See how Jacksonville's promises have shaped our city. When Jacksonville consolidated in 1968, leaders made commitments about what a unified government would prefer for the entire community. The Promises of Consolidation website explores those original promises, the progress made over the decades, and the work that continues today. Discover the promises. See the progress. Explore what's next.
Phase III Water Shortage Remains in Effect
The St. Johns River Water Management District’s Phase III Extreme Water Shortage remains in effect. Landscape irrigation is limited to one day per week and is prohibited between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Odd-numbered or no-address homes may water Saturday; even-numbered homes Sunday; nonresidential properties Tuesday. Learn more about current watering restrictions and conservation requirements.
Duval County Burn Ban Lifted
The Duval County burn ban has been lifted. Under Jacksonville Municipal Code Section 420.201, all outdoor open burning in Duval County is prohibited year‑round without a permit, including on residential properties. Burning household waste, yard waste, or construction materials is illegal. The only allowable burning is land‑clearing debris from the initial clearing of vegetation on commercial properties, and it requires an open‑burning permit. For permit information, contact the Environmental Quality Division at (904) 255‑7100.

City Council
The Jacksonville City Council is composed of nineteen members who are elected for a four-year term and serve as part-time legislators. In May of each year, the Council elects a President and Vice President to serve one-year terms beginning the first of July. The nineteen members are not all elected in the same manner; some are elected from districts, and others are elected at large.

City Council
The City Council is the legislative body of the City of Jacksonville's consolidated government and is responsible for making the laws that govern our way of life. These 19 Council Members, who are elected to four-year terms and serve as part-time legislators, have almost unlimited power to enact legislation in order to provide for the needs of our community. For fair representation throughout the community, the city is divided into 14 districts of nearly equal population and each of these districts elects a single council member. The other five council members represent the entire community 'at large.'
