We understand that in a drought changes need to be made but it was not a drought. Then to see water being sold when we are told to limit........

Too many make blanket statements without qualifiers.

I can't find where there was any drought situations in 2016 until December 2016 through right now.

You can see here various areas of the State of Florida and their amount of rainfall and how that varied from average + or - and can see it by year.

Climate Summary for Florida - August 2015 - Florida Climate Center
Search - Florida Climate Center

The limits are not imposed just on THIS county or area but all over the State of Florida.
