Jupiter actively encourages Florida-Friendly Landscaping. FL 373.185 protects a homeowner's right to install Florida-Friendly yards, and the town cannot prohibit use of native plants. LDR Section 27 requires native species in a portion of new landscape installations.
Jupiter Land Development Regulations require a minimum percentage of native or Florida-Friendly plants in new commercial landscape plans. UF/IFAS Palm Beach Extension offers plant lists. Residents replacing turf with native groundcover do not need a permit. HOA architectural rules cannot override FL 373.185 but may regulate aesthetics reasonably.
