Florida-Friendly Landscaping is protected by FL §373.185 and encouraged by Delray Beach. Native and drought-tolerant plants can replace turf in residential yards without HOA or city interference.
FL §373.185 prevents HOAs, cities, and deed restrictions from prohibiting Florida-Friendly Landscaping on residential property. UF/IFAS maintains the Florida-Friendly plant list. Delray Beach Land Development Regulations encourage native species in new developments. Protected native trees include live oak, gumbo limbo, mahogany, and slash pine.
