Stormwater Compliance Services
Professional stormwater inspections, compliance support, infrastructure inventories, and long-term asset management for Florida property owners and managers.
Harbour Point conducts qualified stormwater inspections for permitted systems throughout Central Florida.
Inspections evaluate visible system conditions, document deficiencies, review major stormwater components, and provide the reporting needed to support permit compliance and ongoing maintenance planning.
For covered permits issued after June 28, 2024, required inspections performed after June 28, 2025 generally must be conducted by a qualified inspector or other qualifying professional. Required reports are generally submitted to the permitting agency within 30 days of the inspection.

Understand your responsibilities before they become liabilities.
Qualified Stormwater Inspections
Stay compliant. Understand system condition. Plan with confidence.
Stormwater Asset Inventories
Many properties lack a comprehensive inventory of their stormwater infrastructure. We document ponds, inlets, control structures, pipes, conveyance systems, and related assets to create a complete picture of your infrastructure.
Asset inventories become the foundation for maintenance planning, budgeting, inspections, and long-term infrastructure management.
Deliverables

You can't effectively manage assets you haven't documented.
Infrastructure Asset Management
Stormwater infrastructure requires ongoing planning - not just annual inspections.
Harbour Point works with property owners and managers to organize inspection history, maintenance priorities, documentation, and long-term planning so infrastructure can be managed proactively instead of reactively.

Understanding Florida's Updated Stormwater Requirements
Florida’s updated stormwater rules introduced additional requirements relating to inspection, documentation, operation and maintenance planning, and long-term system management.
However, the requirements are not identical for every property. The applicable obligations may depend on the permit date, system type, permit conditions, prior modifications, responsible entity, and permitting agency.
Harbour Point begins by reviewing the property and available records rather than applying a one-size-fits-all conclusion.
No. Inspection requirements vary. Some systems may have annual requirements, while others may follow different schedules based on the permit and system type.
Older permits may also continue under their existing inspection and reporting conditions unless modified.
Permit dates can affect which version of Florida’s stormwater requirements applies.
A permit issued before the revised rules took effect may contain different inspection, reporting, and O&M conditions than a newer or subsequently modified permit.
Certain required inspections under newer permits must be performed by a qualified inspector or another qualifying professional.
The applicable permit and agency requirements should be reviewed before making that determination.
An operation and maintenance plan describes how a stormwater system is to be inspected, operated, maintained, and documented over time.
It may identify system components, maintenance tasks, inspection schedules, checklists, governing documents, and available plans.
Responsibility generally rests with the operation and maintenance entity identified in the permit or related property documents.
Depending on the property, this may be an HOA, CDD, commercial owner, developer, governmental entity, or another approved organization.
Harbour Point can review available permits, plans, inspection records, O&M documents, and property information and provide a practical summary of:
-
Apparent inspection requirements
-
Reporting obligations
-
Responsible parties
-
Documentation gaps
-

Our Philosophy
Stormwater infrastructure is one of the most important and most overlooked assets on a property.
Harbour Point Services combines qualified stormwater inspection expertise with experienced business professionals who understand long-term planning, risk management, and practical decision making. We believe inspections should do more than satisfy regulatory requirements. They should provide owners with the information they need to make informed maintenance decisions, protect infrastructure, and reduce long-term costs.
Our goal is to help clients understand their systems, prioritize improvements, and confidently manage stormwater infrastructure for years to come.
