Automatic Shut-off Device Ordinance

Sarasota County Ordinance No. 2006-053 requires all automatic lawn sprinkler systems to have an automatic rain sensor device or switch installed and in operating order. This device stops the system from operating when it is raining. Failure to have a functional automatic rain sensor device or switch is enforceable by Sarasota County Code Enforcement Officers and can result in a civil penalty of up to $500.
