County roads in Collier County

The following is a list of county roads in Collier County, Florida. All county roads are maintained by the county in which they reside, however not all of them are marked with standard MUTCD approved county road shields.

Most of county roads in Collier County were formerly state roads. In the mid 1970s, the Florida Department of Transportation (formerly the State Road Department) downgraded a number of the state roads to secondary state roads. At the same time, most of the roads were renumbered to have a more streamlined numbering system.[1][2] By the mid 1980s, the secondary state roads were turned over to county control.
