News and Events

Ride Right, Stay Safe
ATVs belong on the trail, not in culverts or on county roads.

ATVs are allowed only on marked off-road trails — it is illegal to ride on any Leon County public road, paved or unpaved, in the unincorporated area. Driving through culverts and drainage ditches not only damages the banks and can cause flooding, but it can also cause accidents resulting in serious injuries and fatalities, so keep out. Shoulders, sidewalks, and utility areas are meant for people and utilities, not off-road vehicles — load and unload only in spots marked for ATVs. If you see an ATV where it shouldn’t be, note the location and call the Leon County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency line at (850) 606-5800.

TRIM notices will be mailed to all Leon County property owners on August 18, 2025.
