Welcome to ePermitting

Regulatory Division Restructuring

The District is committed to provide quality service in a timely, convenient and consistent manner to the regulated community. We are currently restructuring our Regulatory Division to:

Eliminate duplication
Increase efficiency
Increase consistency
Reduce costs

As part of this effort, the permitting review process will be centralized in our Tampa office. However, we still plan to use all service offices to meet with permit applicants and maintain a local presence to ensure convenient access to District staff.

We have prepared a Frequently Asked Questions » document to provide more information about this reorganization. Any additional questions can be emailed to the Regulatory Department ».

The District’s online permit system, ePermitting, provides fast access to permit information and allows applicants to complete and manage many different types of applications online. Information about environmental resource, water use and well construction permits can be accessed through ePermitting.
