See Something, Say Something
Living among the lakes is a beloved privilege for residents of the Town of Windermere. We enjoy and protect these resources with our Orange County neighbors and visitors.
Did you know that Windermere only has jurisdiction on the shoreline and not on the open water? Orange County Sheriff’s Office and Florida Fish & Wildlife share joint jurisdiction over the water. Please reach out to either agency to report inappropriate activities happening on the water, or use the form below and we will forward your report to them.
