BE FLOOD AWARE
It is a good time now to be Flood Aware and your insurance policy needs to be in place 30 days before a major storm event for claims. Residents should know what they can do to protect their property before the summer storms and hurricane season. Heavy storms can come through our area on any given day during the rainy season, causing water to rise. Homes can easily flood, even if the homes/neighborhoods are not in a published flood hazard area. Here is some information the City provide for you to help navigate through the insurance process. can
If you would like to make an inquiry or need a copy of an elevation certificate or require a letter as verification, please tell us the street address and, if available, the subdivision, lot and block number. The City of Oviedo does not charge for this service. We are open from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Please contact the Stormwater Coordinator at 407-971-5682 or e-mail at akortus@cityofoviedo.net.

Be Bear Aware
Survey the Septic
Now is the time to have your septic tank inspected, before heavy summer rains come. It is important to have your septic tanks pumped and inspected regularly. Heavy rains cause a strain on the structures and lead to nasty backups. Not only will this cost you, but those backups can contaminate waterways and public storm systems with high nutrients.
Oviedo is no stranger to black bears and we want everyone to be aware of bears and how to stay safe and secure your property.
Do not leave food out for bears. It is illegal to feed them and dangerous for bears and people. Secure garbage cans and do not leave pet food out. You can also purchase a bear-proof garbage can if you leave them outside.

Be aware of your surroundings and walk pets on a short leash, especially at dawn and dusk.
If you see juvenile bears, know the mother is close by. Do not try to interact with them. Bears are aggressive
when protecting their young.
