How Do You Know Which County Rules Apply to You?
Go by the county your property sits in, not the city on your mailing address. Many homes with a Longwood, Apopka or Kissimmee address are actually in unincorporated county land. Those homes follow county rules and may use a county or private utility instead of city sewer.
Your property tax bill lists the county. It also shows if the home sits inside city limits. Each county appraiser also has an online parcel search. When you call, we check your parcel before we quote. That way the permit, fees and rules match your lot.
Florida’s core septic rules apply everywhere. They sit in Chapter 62-6 of the state code and are managed by FDEP. The counties add their own programs, fees and springs zones on top.

The Florida Department of Health office in your county. That means Sanford for Seminole, Ocoee or Orlando for Orange, Kissimmee for Osceola and Tavares for Lake. We file permits in all four.
Do Septic Rules Change From County to County?
The base rules are the same statewide. Counties add their own fees, grant programs and springs zones. Lake County also runs its own septic removal program.
Is My Home Inside a Springs Protection Zone?
Check your address with your county’s lookup tool. Seminole and Orange County both offer one online. Springs zones can change which system you may install when you repair or replace.
