Advocating for Positive Impact
We are a community led non-profit organization creating a positive voice for all property owners, business owners and or citizens of New Smyrna Beach who value economic development, responsible streamlined growth, preserving property owners’ rights and limiting over reach by the city government that may adversely impact these values. We also advocate for making sure the city Ordinances align with the majority of the population of NSB values versus only aligning with a vocal minority whom by design influence our city officials to slow growth and or block growth. In addition to our core values, our mission is to be a community servant to support those in need and provide positive impact to our beloved NSB. While we identify as Republicans, we welcome and support all individuals who share our commitment to fiscal responsibility, economic growth, personal liberty, and community prosperity, regardless of their political affiliation.

The NSBPIA is a 501(c)(6) that advocates for responsible growth in New Smyrna Beach, balancing development with environmental protection.
We support thoughtful zoning, efficient ordinances, and streamlined processes to attract investment. Current challenges include outdated regulations, restrictive zoning, and parking requirements that hinder economic development and burden property owners. These factors limit city budget opportunities for infrastructure and services.
We aim to play a role in advocating and facilitating revising land development regulations that will stimulate our local economy and less restrictive to property rights and responsible development that will diversify the tax base burden of which 80% of the current city taxes are the burden of home owners many whom are retired.
We also aim promote efficient planning and permit processing that will support economic and real estate development, especially in key areas like the beachside where businesses depend on our growth and its role in tourism.
NSBPIA invites property owners, businesses, and citizens to join us in advocating for updated city ordinances that will stimulate positive responsible development that aligns with the character of our city, and motivate the city to be a business-friendly environment.
We encourage public engagement in local government processes. NSBPIA is an independent non-profit, not affiliated with city government, NSB PIA the voice for positive efficient growth and community improvement.
Vocal Minority = Democratic Minority. “Minority” as it pertains throughout this site and our values only refers to the lesser, Democrat political population. It does not describe any other form of minority related to societal, identity, or cultural descriptions. NSBPIA loves, appreciates, and invites all walks of life to join our membership even including Democrats who may share our values.
We hope any of our New Smyrna Beach property owners, businesses and or concerned citizens will join the NSBPIA and help us advocate for positive change that will positively impact our city together.
The Makeup of Our City
Political Demographics of Volusia County and New Smyrna Beach
Active participation in city government is crucial for ensuring that our community’s values and interests are accurately represented in local decision-making. As the voter statistics clearly demonstrate, New Smyrna Beach has a strong Republican majority. It’s essential that this majority is not just a number, but a driving force in shaping our city’s future. By engaging in local politics, attending city council meetings, and making our voices heard, we can ensure that our city’s leadership, decisions, and progress reflect the conservative principles that our community holds dear. This includes fiscal responsibility, support for business growth, protection of property rights, and limited government intervention. Our involvement is key to maintaining a local government that truly represents the will of the majority, fostering a community that aligns with our values and vision for NSB.

Current Owner Advocacy Issues
Creating synergy between city officials, planning and permitting, code enforcement and property owners, business owners, real estate developers and concerned citizens.
Owners should have the right to cut their own trees down on their property regardless of size or species. We love trees and believe if you cut a tree down you should also plant a tree to take its place, property owners whom want to build a home or structure on their site should not be forbidden to build on their property or to reduce the building foot print due to a tree that the owner also owns.
We aim to create a “Plant a Tree” program in our charity works section of NSB PIA.
