Citrus County Sewer Connection Incentive Grant Program Now Accepting Applications
Connection Incentive Grant Program. The Sewer Connection Program provides a reimbursement of up to
$4,000 per existing home, to eligible homeowners in a pre-approved FDEP area, to assist with costs
incurred to switch from an existing septic system and connect to central sewer.
Completed work must follow all applicable County codes and Florida Health Department (FDOH)
requirements. Eligible costs include demolition of the septic tank, plumbing work from the house to
the County right-of-way, and the connect of the on-site plumbing to the County’s wastewater
collection infrastructure.
A pre-application must be submitted for each eligible home. To receive a copy of the application
form, visit https://citrusbocc.smapply.io/prog/sewer_connection_incentive_program or email the
Citrus County Water Resources Department at sewergrant@citrusbocc.com. Pre-applications can be
submitted online or delivered in-person or by mail to 3600 W Sovereign Path, Lecanto, FL 34461.
Eligible grant awards are on a first‐approved pre-application basis. The pre-application will be
assigned a grant number for tracking purposes. If the grant application form is incomplete, the
Water Resources Department will contact the applicant by the preferred method chosen by the
applicant on the grant pre-application.
The Water Resources Department will notify the homeowner of the eligibility determination. If
eligibility is approved, the Water Resources Department remits a Grant Reimbursement Checklist to
the homeowner by the preferred method chosen by the applicant. Eligibility approval will hold
funding but does not guarantee payment until all requirements are met. If eligibility is denied,
the Water Resources Department will notify the homeowner of the determination. Grant applications
will be accepted until funds are exhausted or the program deadline of September 30, 2023 has been
met.
