A permit is required for the construction, repair, or abandonment of any well constructed in the District unless specifically exempted by rule or law.

Water wells, including monitor wells, must be constructed, repaired, or abandoned by a Florida-licensed water well contractor. (Click here for a list of licensed well contractors.)

All abandoned wells must be properly plugged, a permit obtained from the District, and the work performed by a Florida-licensed water well contractor.

The District operates a licensing and enforcement program for persons engaged in the water well business. Anyone engaging in the business of water well construction, repair, or abandonment must be a Florida-licensed water well contractor.

All wells must be finished at least 12 inches above grade.
