By ordinance, the Ocala City Council has the authority to redesignate the boundaries of each district after each decennial census conducted by the United States Government.
Redistricting is the process of drawing boundaries for political districts and to ensure equal representation. It is also a current reflection of population shifts that have occurred within the city limits.
Council Chambers is located on the second floor of Ocala City Hall (110 SE Watula Avenue).
