How we collect and verify these numbers
- Downloads new ordinances from each county clerk’s RSS feed.
- Scrapes open data CSVs for updated FOG fee rows.
- Phones the pretreatment office quarterly to confirm the numbers match invoices restaurants receive.
- If two sources disagree, we list the higher figure and flag it until a county clarification posts. All PDFs and call logs live in our public source vault.

Why this tracker helps
Florida’s sixty seven counties rarely move in sync. During the past twelve months Miami‑Dade lowered its renewal cost, Hillsborough introduced a five‑thousand‑dollar spill penalty, and sixteen rural counties kept fees untouched since 2019. Searching clerk portals one by one wastes hours and still misses mid year amendments. This page publishes the latest permit fee, first‑offense fine, and repeat‑offender surcharge for every Florida county so kitchens, haulers, and reporters can cite the exact dollar figure—no paywall, no guesswork..
