Watering rules
When can a lawn be watered in Seminole County?
Seminole County's fertilizer ordinance bars fertilizer containing nitrogen or phosphorus from June 1 through September 30.
Fertilizers carrying iron, manganese and other micronutrients, the summer blends, can still go on during the restricted season.
The county adopted the ordinance as a condition of its stormwater (MS4) permit, because summer rain washes fertilizer off yards and into the lakes and rivers before plants can take it up.
Seminole County lies in the St. Johns River Water Management District, whose year-round rule bans watering between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and sets the days by the address: two a week in daylight saving time, one in standard time.

Urgency
When is landscaping an emergency in Seminole County?
Landscaping is never dispatched as an emergency. It runs on a calendar.
What a storm leaves behind can be one. A limb through a roof goes out as roof repair, marked Emergency if water is coming in, and the yard is cleared on the next scheduled visit or a one-off booking.
Licensing
What license does a landscaping vendor need in Seminole County?
Mowing and bed work need no license; applying commercial fertilizer takes an FDACS limited certification.
Every vendor 1Stop sends to a Seminole County property keeps a current certificate of insurance and a W-9 on file.
