# Application Fees

This is a listing of the most common Environmental Resource Permit application fees.

If your project type is not listed, or involves industrial wastewater, waste, hazardous waste or public water systems, see Chapter 62-4, F.A.C. for a complete fee listing.

If your project is under two or more activity categories, the fees are not added together - only the highest fee will apply. Send a check for the correct amount with your Environmental Resource Permit Application. Make the check payable to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

Soils present in wetlands generally are classified as hydric or alluvial, or possess characteristics that are associated with reducing soil conditions. The prevalent vegetation in wetlands generally consists of facultative or obligate hydrophytic macrophytes that are typically adapted to areas having soil conditions described above. These species, due to morphological, physiological, or reproductive adaptations, have the ability to grow, reproduce or persist in aquatic environments or anaerobic soil conditions. Florida wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bayheads, bogs, cypress domes and strands, sloughs, wet prairies, riverine swamps and marshes, hydric seepage slopes, tidal marshes, mangrove swamps and other similar areas.
