Site grading and drainage in Indiantown must comply with the adopted Martin County Stormwater Standards, including swale maintenance, lot-line drainage to public systems, and prohibition of redirecting runoff onto neighbors.
Indiantown enforces standard grading and drainage practices under the adopted Martin County standards. New construction must direct runoff away from buildings and toward existing drainage features (swales, ditches, street inlets). Lot owners are responsible for maintaining the right-of-way swales adjacent to their property; blocking or filling swales is a violation. Florida's common-enemy doctrine has been modified by case law to require landowners to use reasonable care not to substantially increase runoff onto neighbors. Sites adjacent to the C-44 canal, Lake Okeechobee, or wetlands require SFWMD Environmental Resource Permits.
Blocking or filling drainage swales is a code violation and may be heard at Special Magistrate. Damage to neighbors from redirected runoff can support civil claims. Unpermitted fill in wetlands or near canals can trigger DEP and SFWMD enforcement.
