NOTICE TO POTENTIAL VARIANCE'APPLICANTS
If pursuing a variance application, please note that the following information'is taken from the section
of Florida Statutes dealing with variance applications for onsite sewage treatment and disposal systems.
To find the Florida Statutes On the internet, please go to http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm.
Scroll down and click on 'Title XXIX." Find and click on "Chapter 381." Find and click on "381.0065."
The citation to look for is Chapter 381.0065(4)(h)1., Florida Statutes.
The department may grant variances in hardship cases which may be less restrictive than,the
provisions specified in this section. A variance may not be granted under this section until the
department is satisfied that:
a. The hardship was not caused intentionally by the action of the applicant;
b. No reasonable alternative, taking into consideration factors such as cost, exists for
the treatment of the sewage; and
c. The discharge from the'onsite sewage treatment and disposal system will not
adversely affect the health of the applicant or the public or significantly degrade the
groundwater or surface waters.
Where soil conditions, water table elevation, and setback provisions are determined by the
department to be satisfactory, special consideration must be given to those lots platted before
1972.
While the final authority to grant or deny variances rests solely with the Department of Health,
variance applications are reviewed by a State Variance Review and Advisory Committee. The,
committee meets once a month in a predetermined location in Florida. You are invited to attend, at your
own expense, or send someone to represent you. The committee will evaluate your request during the
meeting, and will make a recommendation on the disposition of your application to the department.
Please note there are specific requirements and deadlines for variance applications. Please call your
local county health department representative for information on how to file for a variance request.
