Orlando actively maintains and enforces a Non-Compliance List for Private Storm Systems — property owners on this list face enforcement action and need engineering services to bring their systems into compliance. The city requires private owners to maintain stormwater systems by ordinance, and SB 7040's net improvement requirement applies to all new development. The Orlando metro area straddles SJRWMD and SFWMD depending on exact location.
