Environmental Compliance Violation Resolution in Florida
What Are Environmental Compliance Violations?
Environmental compliance violations occur when landowners, developers, or builders begin work without proper permits, impact wetlands or protected species, or fail to follow conditions of issued permits. These violations are enforced by local governments, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), and Water Management Districts (WMDs).
Violations can result in stop-work orders, fines, and costly restoration requirements if not resolved quickly and properly.
