  • Except where specifically exempt herein, the requirements of this article shall apply to all land clearing and land filling activities conducted within the unincorporated area of Charlotte County. It shall be unlawful and a violation of this article to engage in any land clearing or filling activities, except those undertaken as part of a bona fide agricultural operation, prior to the issuance of either a Charlotte County building permit, excavation permit, or tree removal authorization.

    All land clearing and land filling activities authorized under this article must comply with the standards provided in sections 3-5-95 through 3-5-97.

    The issuance of a Charlotte County building permit, excavation permit, or tree removal authorization does not exempt applicants from having to fulfill the permitting requirements of other jurisdictional agencies including, but not limited to, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, or the applicable water management district.
