Follow Hernando County meetings live and receive agenda notifications
Hernando County publishes meeting agendas and often streams meetings through its Legistar portal; use the portal, add .ics events, and call the County Administrator to confirm live video and accessibility.
1. Use Hernando County’s Legistar meetings portal to watch live and view agendas
Hernando County posts agendas, agenda packets, accessible agendas and (when available) video through its Legistar meetings portal. The county’s public social post instructs residents to use the Legistar portal to “watch the meeting live or view the agenda.” On the Legistar pages captured for February meetings you’ll see icons for Agenda, Accessible Agenda, Agenda Packet and a Video column, plus an “Add to Calendar” (.ics) icon on many rows (image references include Image 4–7 for the Feb. 24 Board of County Commissioners row and Image 16–20 for the Feb. 10 row).
2. Where and when to find the Board of County Commissioners meeting on Feb. 24, 2026
The Hernando County Board of County Commissioners is scheduled for Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., listed on Legistar as a Regular Meeting in the John Law Ayers Commission Chambers, Room 160. The physical meeting address shown on county notices is Hernando County Government Center, 20 North Main Street, Room 160, Brooksville, FL 34601. Legistar’s captured row for Feb. 24 shows Agenda and Accessible Agenda links present but the Video column in that snapshot is marked “Not available,” so do not assume a posted archive or live stream will exist until you check shortly before the meeting.
3. Add meetings to your calendar and look for subscription options
Legistar pages in the county capture display an “ics Add to Calendar” icon for meetings (Image references: see Image 4 for the Feb. 24 row). Use that .ics option to place the meeting on your phone or desktop calendar and set reminders. The county website also invites visitors to “Sign up to our Newsletter, Stay up to date on the county's activities, events, programs and operations by subscribing to our eNewsletters. Sign Up Today!” If you need email or SMS agenda alerts, check the Legistar row for a subscribe feature and the county site’s eNewsletter form; the saved capture shows the .ics icon clearly but does not display an explicit email/SMS subscription button, so confirm the subscription path on the portal.
4. Open and read agenda packets and accessible agendas before the meeting
Legistar rows captured for Feb. meetings list Agenda Packet and Accessible Agenda links (images in the capture include Image 5–7 and Image 21–25). Agenda packets and accessible agendas let you see items in the hearing order, Legando notices state: “All cases will be heard thereafter in the order established when the agenda is published.” Agenda packets often contain staff reports, maps and proposed ordinance language; check the packet files linked from the Legistar row for the meeting you plan to follow.
5. Confirm live video availability and archived video policy before relying on a stream
Although the county’s Facebook post invited people to “watch the meeting live,” Legistar captures show variability: some meetings have a Video icon and others display “Not available.” Use the portal to confirm whether a live stream will be posted or archived video will appear after the meeting; where Legistar’s video cell reads “Not available” in the captured snapshot, treat that as an indication the stream or archive may not be posted or may appear later. If a live video is essential for you, verify on the portal shortly before the 9:00 a.m. start time.
6. Attend in person and request accommodations if needed
When meetings are held in person they take place in John Law Ayers Commission Chambers, Room 160 at the Hernando County Government Center (20 North Main Street, Brooksville, FL 34601). For ADA accommodations the Jan. 6, 2026 land use public meeting notice provides explicit instructions: "In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, persons with disabilities needing a special accommodation to participate in this proceeding should contact Dave Aura, Risk Management Manager, 15470 Flight Path Drive, Brooksville, FL 34604, (352) 442-7787. If hearing impaired, please call 1-800-676-3777." Use that contact information to request seating, materials in a different format, interpreter services, or other accommodations in advance.
7. Who to call with meeting questions and general county contacts
If you have procedural or agenda questions, the county instructs you to direct them to the County Administrator’s Office at (352) 754-4002. Hernando County’s main line is (352) 754-4000 and the county site includes “Contact Us” prompts for additional departmental inquiries. If you need quicker confirmation of whether video will stream, an agenda packet is posted, or a room has changed, call the County Administrator’s Office early the morning of the meeting.
8. Appeals and quasi-judicial cases: an exact legal reminder
For matters that could be appealed, the county’s published language warns users exactly: "If a person decides to appeal any quasi-judicial decision made by the Hernando County Board of County Commissioners with respect to any matter considered at such hearing or meeting, he or she may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceeding is made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based." If you plan to preserve rights to appeal, arrange for an official verbatim record and consult counsel about required procedures.
9. Other boards listed on Legistar and typical meeting patterns in captured rows
The Legistar capture shows multiple boards using Room 160 at 9:00 a.m.: Board of County Commissioners entries on 2/3/2026 (Land Use Meeting), 2/10/2026 (Regular Meeting) and 2/24/2026 (Regular Meeting); Planning & Zoning Commission on 2/9/2026; and Value Adjustment Board Special Magistrate Hearings on 2/5/2026. The original materials also referenced other appointed boards including the Hernando/Citrus MPO; however, the provided Legistar screenshot rows did not include MPO listings. If you follow multiple boards, check each board’s Legistar page because availability of video, accessible agendas and packet uploads varies by meeting.
10. Verify items reporters and residents should check before publication or attendance
Before relying on an agenda or a stream, verify whether the agenda packet and minutes are posted, whether a live stream is scheduled or archived, whether the meeting location remains Room 160, and whether public-comment procedures or remote-participation links have been posted. The research notes indicate gaps: the county Facebook post invites residents to “watch the meeting live,” yet Legistar’s Feb. 24 row captured “Not available” in the Video column; likewise the county website’s agenda link placeholder was blank in the excerpt. For definitive answers call (352) 754-4002 and check the county’s Legistar meeting row in the hour before the meeting.
11. Preservation details and file artifacts to reference in records requests or follow-up
If you are documenting evidence about what was available at publication time, preserve the Legistar image references shown in the capture (examples: Image 4–7 for Feb. 24; Image 16–20 for Feb. 10; Image 21–25 for Planning & Zoning; Image 38–44 for Value Adjustment Board; Image 45–49 for Feb. 3 land use). Save public notice identifiers such as CLK25-177 for the land use public meeting notice; the Jan. 6, 2026 land use hearing notice was signed and published as shown: "/s/ Jeffrey Rogers County Administrator Hernando County Administration PUBLISH: January 2, 2026." The county Facebook post in the capture carried a relative timestamp (“3d”) and used the hashtag "#HernandoCountyBOC" and emojis (👀📱💻); if you rely on social posts for streaming notices, archive the post and note its timestamp.
Final note Hernando County’s meeting materials and streaming options are centralized in its Legistar meeting portal and supplemented by county social posts and public notices; because video and packet availability are inconsistent in captured rows, treat the portal as the primary source and confirm live-stream and subscription options directly through the County Administrator’s Office ((352) 754-4002) or the county’s contact channels before the meeting.
