Site Plans for Orlando
& Orange County Permits

Orlando and Orange County sit outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that governs Miami-Dade and Broward, but the county’s biggest site plan challenge is different: lakes. Orange County has one of the highest concentrations of lakes and wetlands in Florida, and lake or wetland setbacks show up on far more residential and commercial permits here than in most other counties.

Lakes, Wetlands & Rapid Growth Corridors

Orange County’s “City Beautiful” reputation comes from its chain of lakes, and that shapes site plans more than almost anything else in the county: many residential and commercial parcels require a lake setback or wetland buffer line, reviewed against St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) stormwater rules rather than the SFWMD standards used further south. Growth corridors like Lake Nona, Horizon West, and Dr. Phillips are adding new construction and commercial permits at a fast pace, while some unincorporated parcels still rely on septic systems that need to be shown on the site plan.

🌊 Lake, Wetland & Septic Considerations

We check your parcel against county GIS and wetland mapping before drafting. Lake and wetland setback lines are shown to scale where applicable, and septic system / drainfield locations are included for unincorporated parcels that require them.

Orange County covers Orlando plus several independent cities. Winter Garden, Apopka, and Windermere each apply their own zoning code — we verify your specific jurisdiction before every order.

Orange County’s rapid growth in Lake Nona, Horizon West, and the I-Drive corridor means zoning can vary block by block in newer developments. We research your parcel’s actual zoning and any lake or wetland overlay before every order — not a generic average.

Independent Cities Within the County

Orlando, Winter Park, Ocoee, Winter Garden, Apopka, and Windermere all run separate building departments from Orange County itself. We identify and format for whichever jurisdiction your property falls under.
