Brevard County Code Ch. 94 (Property Maintenance) requires weed abatement. Invasive species like Brazilian pepper and Australian pine are priority concerns along the Indian River Lagoon shoreline.
Brevard County Code Chapter 94 requires property owners to keep lots free of excessive weeds and overgrown vegetation over 12 inches. Vacant lot notices issued annually. County contractors abate non-compliant properties and lien the cost. Florida Invasive Species Partnership lists Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolia), Australian pine (Casuarina), melaleuca, air potato, and cogongrass as priority removals. Brevard's position along the Indian River Lagoon makes shoreline invasive management critical - Brazilian pepper chokes native mangrove habitat. The Brevard Zoo and Keep Brevard Beautiful coordinate air potato roundups. HOAs in Viera and Suntree enforce stricter turf-height standards (typically 6 inches).
Notice to abate within 10-15 days. County clears at owner expense ($300-$1,500). Administrative fee ($100-$250) plus lien on property.
