Stormwater runoff is a major source of pollution flowing into our natural waterbodies. The Seminole County Fertilizer Ordinance regulates fertilizers containing nitrogen and/or phosphorus and provides specific management guidelines for fertilizer application to minimize negative impacts to our natural waterbodies.
This ordinance is for unincorporated Seminole County, but all seven cities within the County have adopted this ordinance, either in its entirety or in large part.
Key Highlights of the Fertilizer Ordinance
The overall goal of this ordinance is to minimize excess fertilizer runoff and protect the County’s natural water resources.
