Fertilizer Ordinances

AIF SUPPORTS legislation that addresses the labyrinth of inconsistent, unscientific and arbitrary county and municipal ordinances related to the fertilization of urban turf, lawns, and landscapes.

Legislation (HB 421 and SB 604) has been filed by Rep. Jimmie Smith (R-Lecanto) and Sen. Charlie Dean (R-Inverness) that exempts Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS) certified fertilizer applicators from the local ordinances which address lawn fertilization. The bill allows educated, trained and certified fertilizer applicators to continue practicing their trade without fear of being regulated out of existence.
