Tavares water damage: separate emergency lines for water and sewer, and permits by email
An older population in a growing city
The Census Bureau counts 22,490 people in Tavares in its July 1, 2025 estimate, up from 19,003 in the 2020 census. For 2020 to 2024 it reports 35.9 percent of residents are 65 or older, 2.11 people per household, a 76.8 percent owner-occupied rate and a median home value of $254,500.
Small households and older residents mean a leak can go unnoticed in a spare room, or while someone is away. Know where your main shutoff is, and tell a neighbor or relative how to reach you.
Water and sewer emergencies have their own numbers
The City of Tavares lists 352.253.4229 for emergency water issues and 352.253.4279 for emergency sewer issues. Billing and account questions go to the Finance Department at 352.742.6400, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The city says its utility provides potable water, wastewater treatment and reclaimed water throughout Tavares.
A sewer backup is Category 3 water. If more than one drain is backing up, the blockage may be in the main or the city's line: call the sewer number above, keep people and pets out of the area, and then call or text CFDR so Ryan can match you with a cleanup company.
Permits, county alerts and the forecast office
Tavares posts its building permit applications online, including a roofing permit packet and a residential addition and alteration packet, and asks that completed forms go to permits@tavares.org. Ask your matched company whether the rebuild needs a permit and who will submit it.
Lake County residents can register for AlertLake, the county's emergency notification system; the Office of Emergency Management lists a Special Needs Program at 352-343-9420. Tavares is in the National Weather Service Melbourne forecast area, zone FLZ044.
