What's different about septic in Florida Ridge
South county is inside the stretch of the Central Indian River Lagoon BMAP that runs all the way down to Fort Pierce, so being outside a city limit does not put a property outside the program. Sandy soil and the same wet-season water table apply.
Sewer status
This is mixed territory, street by street, and the map is the only reliable answer. Check the address on FDEP's lagoon map, then call the county's septic-to-sewer program on 772-770-5300 to ask whether a connection is planned.
