Florida maintains one of the strictest invasive plant regulatory programs in the US. The Florida Noxious Weed List and FLEPPC Category I/II lists restrict many species. Broward County follows state rules and prohibits planting species like Brazilian pepper, melaleuca, and Australian pine.
Florida's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services maintains the Noxious Weed List under Chapter 5B-57 FAC, prohibiting the introduction, possession, and transport of listed species. The Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council (FLEPPC) maintains Category I and II invasive species lists. In Broward County and South Florida, the most regulated invasive plants include Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolia), melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia), Australian pine (Casuarina spp.), old world climbing fern (Lygodium microphyllum), and air potato (Dioscorea bulbifera). Broward County's landscape code requires removal of invasive exotic species during site development. Many municipalities within Broward have additional local requirements. The South Florida Water Management District also prohibits certain aquatic invasives.
Planting or maintaining prohibited invasive species may result in code enforcement action requiring removal. Florida law prohibits sale and transport of noxious weeds with penalties including fines and plant confiscation.
