Coral Springs, FL Environmental Rules: Stormwater Management (2026)

The Coral Springs Improvement District operates the city's surface water management system under SFWMD Permit No. 06-00119-S. CSID manages the canal system, control structures, and drainage infrastructure throughout the city. All commercial new construction and alteration projects must be approved by the drainage district prior to building permit issuance. Each project must provide water quality treatment consistent with South Florida Water Management District requirements and district-specified storage based on the gross area of each parcel. The city's Stormwater Master Plan evaluates existing stormwater infrastructure and identifies improvements to reduce flooding and protect property. Environmental Resource Permits from SFWMD are required for development or construction activities that may impact stormwater systems. CSID only regulates installation of lines within district rights of way and easements, but all fences (residential and commercial) bordering waterways need CSID approval or a letter of no objection. The CSID Permit Criteria Manual establishes technical standards for all drainage projects within the district. A stormwater utility fee is assessed to properties within the district to fund maintenance and improvements.
