Parcels that contain wetlands and/or surface waters may require a Wetland Determination prior to development. This process will determine the extent of the wetlands and/or surface waters that are onsite.

1. Complete and submit a Wetland Determination Application Form.
   • Application can be emailed to WetlandPermitting@ocfl.net OR mailed, delivered, or faxed to Orange County Environmental Protection Division (EPD), 3165 McCrory Place, Suite 200 Orlando, Florida 32803. Fax: (407) 836-1499.
   • Include all required attachments listed in the "Supporting Details" section of the application.
2. Within 30 days of receipt, EPD staff will review the application. During this time, staff will coordinate with either the applicant or applicant's agent for a site inspection.
3. Following the site visit, staff will issue a delineation agreement letter verifying the absence or presence and approximate extent of wetlands and surface waters within the parcel(s). (If staff determine that no wetlands or surface waters exist onsite, a final Wetland Determination will be issued to complete the process.)

If EPD staff determined that wetlands and/or surface waters exist within the parcel(s), the applicant shall then submit a special purpose survey depicting the parcel boundary and any identified wetlands and/or surface waters within the parcel(s). The applicant shall also submit an electronic shapefile depicting the wetlands and/or surface waters within the parcel(s).
5. Upon receipt of the above survey and shapefile, EPD will issue the final Wetland Determination.
