Is there a safe area of Florida where there is no chance of sinkholes? Technically, no. Since the entire state is underlain by carbonate rocks, sinkholes could theoretically form anywhere. However, there are definite regions where sinkhole risk is considerably higher. In general, areas of the state where limestone is close to surface, or areas with deeper limestone but with a conducive configuration of water table elevation, stratigraphy, and aquifer characteristics have increased sinkhole activity.
In an effort to assist the state residents are encouraged to report sinkhole information by filling out a subsidence incident report form on the Department's website and submit the completed copy to the FAGS. This website also contains information on sinkholes and how they form.
