Indian River County handles rank weeds and overgrowth under Chapter 973, the public nuisance code, with a 12-inch limit inside built-out subdivisions. There is no statewide weed law, and agriculturally zoned land is exempt.
Overgrowth is a local matter, and Indian River County code enforcement works from Chapter 973. Section 973.03 treats weeds or grass over 12 inches as a public nuisance on lots, common areas, open space, recreation tracts, and landscape buffers within a platted subdivision at least 50 percent developed, or a multifamily project half built out. The officer issues written notice with a cure deadline; miss it and the county clears the parcel and records the cost as a lien. Invasive species such as Brazilian pepper, air potato, and Australian pine plague the county's sandy soils, and their removal is encouraged, though not mandated on private residential land.
Code enforcement issues written notice and a cure deadline. Miss it and the county abates the overgrowth, bills the owner, and liens the property, with fines set by the Code Enforcement Board.
