St. Cloud council asks staff to draft code protecting county 4‑H exemptions for annexed properties

Feb 12, 2026

Council directed staff to draft a land‑development-code amendment to allow residents who enter St. Cloud with active Osceola County 4‑H exemptions to continue participating if they provide proof of enrollment, while clarifying limits tied to lot size, setbacks and HOA rules.

The full story

Mayor Chris Robertson and council members spent an extended portion of the meeting on whether county 4‑H exemptions should continue after properties are annexed into St. Cloud. Staff presented a draft approach that would allow property owners who enter the city with active 4‑H or FFA registrations to preserve their exemptions for the duration of the membership provided they can produce proof of current participation.
