Reddick permits, BMAPs and the town's nitrogen share
Inside town limits or out, septic permits come from Florida DEP's Onsite Sewage Program, in charge in Marion since July 1, 2025 (osp.floridadep.gov; [email protected]; 850-245-8362). Under Rule 62-6.030, DEP charges $55 for a repair permit and $50 for an existing system and repair evaluation, plus a $5 surcharge, separate from any contractor's price.
The points checked put Reddick inside the Silver Springs and Rainbow Springs BMAP and the Orange Creek BMAP, outside the springs Priority Focus Area. The 2025 springs BMAP assigns the Town of Reddick a 3,851 lb-N/yr nitrogen reduction share. Most of Marion County is inside the BMAP; confirm your parcel on DEP's BMAP map. For homeowners, a DEP repair, modification or replacement permit requires an ENR system unless sewer is planned and funded, and any new system needs ENR.
No municipal sewer plant for Reddick appears in DEP's facility records. The FGS lists 2 reported subsidence incidents tagged Reddick, most such reports never field-checked. Before a storm, UF/IFAS advises switching off a septic pump before flooding and not pumping the tank until floodwaters recede.
Septic services Reddick homeowners can get quotes for
Each link covers the work and what to ask.
- Septic tank pumping. With town homes from around 1983, a pump-out is a chance to check tank condition.
- Septic tank cleaning. Have the outlet filter and baffles checked, and keep the receipt.
- Septic system installation. Lots new to septic need a DEP permit and, in the BMAP, an ENR system.
- Drain field repair. A failed field needs a DEP repair permit ($55), which brings ENR with it.
- Septic tank repair. Lids, baffles and pumps are the usual fixes on 1980s systems.
- Septic inspection. A failed inspection that leads to a repair permit brings the ENR rule into play.
- Emergency septic service. A company may be able to come the same or next day; ask the after-hours rate first.
- Grease trap pumping. Food businesses in town can request a written grease trap quote.
Florida Septic Works does not pump or repair anything: it is a referral service, not a septic tank contractor. When a Reddick company calls back, ask for its DEP septic tank contractor registration number (search it via DEP's registration page), the septage disposal service permit number on the truck, proof of insurance and a written quote.
Septic pumping and drain field costs in Reddick

Reddick septic questions
Does the Town of Reddick have sewer?
No municipal sewer plant for Reddick appears in DEP's wastewater facility records, and about 72% of housing units in town match a septic parcel in the state inventory, rising to about 81% across ZIP 32686. Unless your utility bill shows a sewer charge, assume your home is on septic and keep a record of each pump-out.
What does Reddick's BMAP nitrogen share mean for my septic tank?
The 2025 Silver Springs and Rainbow Springs BMAP assigns the Town of Reddick a 3,851 lb-N/yr reduction share, a target for the town rather than a bill to homeowners. What affects you directly is the permit rule: a DEP repair, modification or replacement permit requires an ENR system unless sewer is planned and funded. A working tank needs nothing now.
What DEP fees apply to a septic repair in Reddick?
Under Rule 62-6.030, DEP charges $55 for a repair permit and $50 for an existing system and repair evaluation, plus a $5 surcharge. Those are government fees only. The contractor's price for the repair, and for an ENR system if one is required, is separate, so ask for a written quote that lists which permit fees are included.
