Do I Need a Permit to Drill a Well in Citrus County?

Yes, a permit is required before drilling any new well in Citrus County. The Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) oversees well construction permitting for Citrus County, and a well construction permit must be obtained prior to installation. The permit process is designed to ensure wells are built by licensed contractors and meet established safety and durability standards. As a water well service contractor holding SWFWMD State Lic. #9320 and #9581, Bishop's Well Drilling manages the full permitting process on your behalf, from application through final compliance.

How the Permitting and Drilling Process Works

Getting a new well drilled in Inverness, FL, typically follows these steps:


  1. Contact Bishop's Well Drilling to discuss your property's water needs and site conditions.
  2. Our team conducts a site evaluation to identify the right drilling location and target aquifer zone.
  3. We apply for and secure the required SWFWMD well construction permit before any drilling begins.
  4. Drilling, casing installation, and pump system setup are completed using proven equipment and methods.
  5. Final testing and inspection confirm system performance and regulatory compliance.

How Deep Are Wells in the Inverness, FL, Area?

Well depth in and around Inverness, FL, varies based on site conditions and the aquifer zone being targeted. The region overlies the Upper Floridan Aquifer, a regional limestone system that sits relatively shallow under Citrus County's karst terrain. Many private wells in this part of Central Florida draw from the Floridan Aquifer at depths ranging from roughly 100 to 400 feet, while shallower surficial aquifer wells may be suitable for irrigation purposes. The porous limestone geology that feeds Citrus County's famous springs can mean strong water yields, but proper casing and grouting are essential to protect water quality. Inland areas by the Tsala Apopka Lake chain also tend to produce harder water, which can affect fixtures and water heaters over time.
