Artificial turf allowed in Brevard County with proper drainage. HOA bans limited by FL §373.185. Heat buildup (can reach 150F+) and stormwater runoff into Indian River Lagoon are primary concerns. Not counted toward pervious surface requirements.
Brevard County permits artificial turf as a landscaping alternative. No building permit required for residential turf replacement unless grading changes. Proper drainage substrate required to prevent runoff into the Indian River Lagoon watershed (which covers most of the county). Artificial turf does NOT count as pervious surface for lot coverage calculations under Brevard County Code §62-3206. Heat buildup in synthetic turf can exceed 150F in direct Florida sun, requiring hydration systems or shade. HOAs may have aesthetic guidelines but cannot ban artificial turf outright under FL §373.185 (Florida-Friendly Landscaping). Recycled crumb-rubber infill discouraged due to lagoon contamination potential; sand or organic infill preferred. Stormwater systems draining to lagoon (most of county) require proper base for filtration.
Improper drainage causing runoff: correction required, potential $250 per day fine. Installation without required grading permit: permit application with penalty fee. HOA attempts to ban turf: unenforceable under state law.
