Local Requirements for Permit Services

Local Factors in Lake Mary

Seminole County Soil & Drainage Profile
Seminole County features a mix of poorly drained Spodosols in low-lying areas and moderately well-drained sandy soils on ridges. The county's position along St. Johns River tributaries means many properties face both surface water and groundwater flooding challenges.
Seminole County's established suburban communities — many built in the 1970s-1990s — were developed with stormwater infrastructure designed to earlier, less conservative standards. As these systems age and development intensity increases, flooding becomes more frequent. Retrofitting existing drainage to current standards is a growing specialty, requiring creative engineering within the constraints of already-built neighborhoods.
