Brevard County coastal development east of the FL DEP Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) requires state permits under FL §161.053. Sea turtle lighting ordinance applies May 1-Oct 31. Dune protection and 30-year erosion setback enforced.
Brevard County's 72-mile Atlantic coastline is heavily regulated. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) administers the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) under FL §161.053 - construction seaward of the CCCL requires a state CCCL permit in addition to county building permits. The 30-Year Erosion Projection limits construction in areas projected to erode. Dune vegetation protection strict - sea oats and dune plants cannot be disturbed. Brevard's Sea Turtle Lighting Ordinance (Code Ch. 62) requires shielded, amber/red, low-intensity lighting on beachfront properties May 1-October 31 to protect nesting loggerhead, green, and leatherback turtles (Brevard has one of the highest nesting densities in the US). Seawalls and shoreline armoring face strict review. Manatee protection zones in Indian River Lagoon apply to dock and seawall construction.
Unpermitted CCCL construction: $5,000-$50,000 fines under FL §161.054 plus restoration/demolition. Sea turtle lighting violations: $500-$2,500 per night plus Endangered Species Act federal penalties. Dune vegetation damage: restoration required.
