Sumter county does not have a fertilizer ban or ordinance. Please check your facts.

One thing that you and others should be aware of is the fertilizer ban from June 1 through September 30. You are not permitted to use fertilizer containing nitrogen or phosphorus during this period.
The reason is to protect the water quality of our freshwater lakes.
This ban is in place for Sumter and Lake counties along with several others.
If you apply a slow release nitrogen fertilizer to your yard in May, it will be fine throughout the summer and you can treat it in October without losing any of the benefits and you’ll be helping to keep our Florida lakes free from pollutants during the rainy season.
