A view of the home page on CityofCedarKey.org.
The City of Cedar Key, Florida, has launched its newly redesigned official website at cityofcedarkey.org, offering residents, business owners, and visitors a streamlined, modern digital gateway to municipal services and local government affairs.
Developed in partnership with government web design platform CivicPlus, the updated portal replaces older digital infrastructure with an intuitive, mobile-responsive layout designed to improve accessibility and community communication across Levy County’s historic coastal island.
Key Features of the New Portal
Citizen Website Accounts: Residents can create personalized user accounts to manage form submissions, save progress on city applications, and customize subscription preferences.
Integrated "Notify Me" Alerts: Users can sign up for real-time notifications via email or SMS for news, urgent announcements, public meeting notices, and municipal schedule changes—such as monthly yard waste pickups and city commission workshops.
Public Meeting Access: The site features dedicated hubs for upcoming city meeting agendas, public notices, and recorded video sessions via Zoom, making civic participation easier for remote and local residents alike.
Streamlined Municipal Navigation: Organized navigation pathways allow visitors to quickly find department resources—including the Building Department, City Clerk, City Commission, and the Cedar Key Water Authority—under clear sections for Government, Residents, Businesses, and Community Resources.
Strengthening Civic Transparency
The redesign reflects a broader effort by local leaders to make city administration more transparent and accessible. By centralizing public records, budget workshop notices, and department contact channels into a single secure hub, the new platform ensures residents remain informed about local governance and coastal community initiatives.
Residents and local business owners are encouraged to explore the portal and register for a citizen account to start receiving direct municipal updates.
