Orange City’s Curb Appeal Program acknowledges attractive, well maintained landscapes and the benefits they provide to our community. It is the goal of the Curb Appeal Program to identify and formally reward those property owners that demonstrate community pride and maintain their property as a beacon of higher standards that other property owners may aspire.
Categories
Nominations may be submitted by anyone, including the property owner, for both Residential and Commercial properties. Property that is visible from any public street, park or school can be nominated.
Awards Presented
One property in each category will be recognized with an Award. Certificates will be presented to Curb Appeal Program winners at a Council Meeting.

Additionally winners will receive a gift card from a local area business.
