Upland / Wetland Rules and Regulations
Please review this page, and other resources, to help you with your upland / wetland purchase and sales decisions. Also keep in mind that fees and information changes through the State and County from time to time. I am not an environmentalist, attorney, appraiser, or government employee. I will try to post up-to-date information, but please verify all information by going to specializing resources and:
Collier County Permits and Applications
Collier County Environmental Services
Florida Department of Environmental Protection Wetland Determinations
When any lot is developed, an impact fee is charged by the county. A valuable resource to learn about those fees is:
Collier County Impact Fees
If the area that you are building on disturbs wetlands, an ERP (Environmental Resource Permit) will be required and additional fees will apply:

**Flood zone designation DOES NOT necessarily CORRESPOND with Upland / Wetland areas. A lot can be 100% Upland, yet still be 100% flood zone AH (possible flooding and insurance required location). A lot can also be 100% wetland, yet still be 100% flood zone X or X500 (no flood zone insurance requirement). Flood zone and Upland / Wetland topics are believed to be the same topic, but they are not!
