Tree removal, wetlands, coastal resources, protected species and water impacts can involve separate local, state and federal reviews. Sarasota County's environmental permitting information describes County processes, but municipality and project scope matter. Ask the local planner or permit reviewer which authorities apply. StartFL does not identify wetlands, protected species, tree-protection zones or coastal permit requirements for an individual parcel.
