SEMINOLE COUNTY BURN BAN EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. LEARN MORE.
Stormwater runoff is a major source of pollution flowing into our natural waterbodies. Seminole County Board of County Commissioners approved a Fertilizer Ordinance, effective February 28, 2017, that regulates fertilizers containing nitrogen and/or phosphorus and provides specific management guidelines for fertilizer application in order 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. The materials and resources below further explain the Ordinance.
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. For more information, please review our Fertilizer Ordinance.
