The mission of the Ranger Drainage District is to
implement the provisions of Chapter 298 Florida
Statutes, in a manner that ensures proper storm
water management within the boundaries of the
district and to operate with a continued
commitment
to education and outreach to its
residents and
landowners.
A permit shall be obtained from RDD prior to most
types of construction on your property. RDD will
review each application and determine its impact
on the drainage system. During the review
process, RDD conducts a field inspection of the
property to determine if easements are in
conformance with the District’s policies.
Final Inspections –
Prior to a final approval from RDD, an inspection, final survey and acknowledgement letter must be provided to the District. To request a final inspection, please call the RDD office at
407-568-5502.

Remember, what and how much you place on your lawn eventually lands in
our District canals. Excessive nutrients in the canals leads to additional growth,
water quality issues and accelerated deterioration of galvanized structures and pipes. In light of the new Federal regulations, we need your help more than ever to maintain our water quality.
Fences being installed on canals & easements. As a reminder, fences need
to be approved by RDD prior to installation. These items disrupt the daily operation if improperly installed.
Unauthorized use of the canal easements has resulted in both repair and
legal costs to the District.
