About this guide

Septic 2030 is operated by WhenLeads, a division of DV8 WEB LLC, 1335 Old Dixie Hwy Ste 27, Lake Park, FL 33403. We are not a government agency, a utility, or a septic contractor, and we do not speak for FDEP, the Florida Department of Health, or any county or city.

Gustavo Mitchell, owner of DV8 WEB LLC, publishes Septic 2030 and is responsible for what it says. He decides what goes on the site, signs off on corrections, and is the person to hold accountable if something here is wrong. Pages are researched and written for Septic 2030 and checked against the sources named on each page before they go live.

• Primary sources first. The statute, the enrolled bill, FDEP's permitting tables and FAQs, county program pages and county or city documents come before news reports. News is used for dated events (a vote, a court ruling, a cost figure a county gave a reporter) and is named as news.
• A date on every fact. Each page lists its sources with the date we last checked each one, and the page head shows when the page was last verified.
• Unsettled means unsettled. Where the law or a program does not say something (penalties, enforcement, a possible date change, who qualifies for a grant that has not opened), we say so instead of guessing. We do not repeat fine amounts, failure rates or deadlines nobody can cite.
• Our own counts are labeled as ours. Septic parcel counts come from state records with the method written out on the data page.
• Re-checked on a schedule. Every page is re-checked at least monthly, and right after a legislative session, a court ruling or a county vote that could change it.
• Same content for everyone. No company that receives requests can buy, edit or approve what a page says.

Found something wrong or out of date? Send it through the request form with "correction" in the notes, or tell the company that calls you. We check the claim against the source, fix the page, change its date and log the change in the changelog (also published as a feed). We correct in the open: the changelog says what was wrong and what it says now. We do not quietly delete mistakes.

Homeowners never pay. When you send a request, we pass it to one licensed septic professional who serves your area, and that company may pay us for the introduction. The guide's content does not change based on who pays, no company is ranked or recommended here, and you are free to hire anyone you like.

• The law: s. 373.469, Florida Statutes, and HB 1417 (2026), from the Florida Senate.
• Permit rules: FDEP's published ENR requirement tables and FAQs.
• The court case: the 11th Circuit's opinion and the district court record, plus news reports of each step.
• The address check: FDEP's program area map, the Florida Department of Health's Florida Water Management Inventory (septic or sewer by parcel), the Florida Department of Revenue statewide parcel map, Brevard County's septic grant layer and Indian River County's sewer layer, all public. Addresses are placed on the map by the US Census geocoder, or the ArcGIS World geocoder when Census has no match.
• Grants and costs: county program pages and local news reporting, named on each page.
• Parcel counts: our analysis of the same public layers, with downloads, on the data page.

This guide explains public law and public records in plain English. It is not legal, engineering or financial advice. Map data can be out of date or wrong for a single parcel, grant amounts change, and the law may change. Before you spend money, confirm with your county health department, your utility and a licensed contractor.
