Permits
Regulatory programs help us to better manage and protect regional water resources. The resources include wetlands, rivers, lakes and estuaries as well as groundwater supplies. The South Florida Water Management District's regulatory responsibilities are shared with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and other state and local governments.
To enhance the efficiency of the business process for permit applicants, our RegPermitting website serves as the District’s online platform for submittal of permit applications, additional information, compliance information and payments for the Environmental Resource, Water Use and Well Construction regulatory programs. Submittal of Everglades Works of the District water quality data can also be completed through RegPermitting. In addition, RegPermitting enables anyone to research the status of permit applications.
Users registered with our ePermitting database can sign up to be notified of timely permitting information while the transition from ePermitting to RegPermitting continues.
(NOTE: To apply for a Recreational Special Use License for certain activities on SFWMD public lands, such as camping, please visit SFWMD.gov/Sul.)
