Florida Springs & HB 1263

A new law passed in 2012 (HB 1263) changes the law related to when to have your septic system evaluated. The law gives local governments the choice on whether or not to adopt an evaluation program for their area.


A county or municipality where a first magnitude spring is located (ADA accessible table format) was required to decide whether or not to implement an evaluation program for their area by January 1, 2013. All other counties may choose to adopt the program in their area at any time.

As of December 20, 2012, all 19 counties and the 3 cities that were required to take action on septic tank inspections under HB 1263, passed by the 2012 Legislature, have voted to opt out of the requirement.
