2 rules for unincorporated Indian River County, Florida.
Verified from official government sources
Indian River County's Atlantic coast requires sea-turtle-friendly lighting. Under Fla. Stat. 161.163 the state sets beachfront lighting guidelines, and the county's Sea Turtle Protection ordinance, LDR Chapter 932, Section 932.09, bars light visible from the beach during nesting season, March 1 through October 31.
Fla. Stat. §161.163
The department shall also adopt by rule guidelines for local government regulations that control beachfront lighting to protect hatching sea turtles.
Florida has no statute limiting light spilling onto a neighbor's yard, and away from the turtle-lighting coast Indian River County addresses glare mainly through its Land Development Regulations lighting standards for new development. A bothered neighbor's main tools are HOA covenants or a common-law nuisance claim.
