Charlotte County's
Fertilizer Ordinance
...
Lawns Green and Waterways Clean
On March 18,
2008, Charlotte County Board of County Commissioners approved
Ordinance No. 2008-028 regulating the use of fertilizers
containing nitrogen and/or phosphorous on Charlotte County lawns. It
establishes Best Management Practices (BMP’s) for both residential and
commercial turf fertilizer application. The ordinance will enable
Charlotte County to protect our water resources from nutrient pollution, while
enabling residents to maintain beautiful and healthy lawns.
The new ordinance requires fertilizer contain at
least 50% slow-release
nitrogen. For a full list of the ordinance’s
stipulations, download the
official ordinance brochure.
All commercial fertilizer applicators
MUST receive
training and certification
in Best Management Practices
from
Charlotte County Extension Service.
