Brevard County requires vacant lot maintenance and defensible space near structures under Code Ch. 14. Dry season October-May elevates wildfire risk in pine flatwoods and palmetto scrub areas west of I-95.
Brevard County Code of Ordinances Chapter 14 (Fire Prevention) requires property owners to maintain combustible vegetation clearance. Vacant lots must be kept free of excessive brush, palmetto, and dead vegetation. The Florida Forest Service (Bureau of Field Operations - Bunnell District) covers Brevard for wildfire response and prescribed burn authorizations. The 1998 Florida wildfires burned over 60,000 acres in Brevard; Mims and Scottsmoor areas remain high-risk. Firewise USA communities exist in Canaveral Groves and Port St. John. Lightning-strike ignitions common during summer thunderstorms. HOAs in Viera and The Moorings typically manage common area vegetation to fire-safe standards.
