Brevard County Code Ch. 62 prohibits light trespass onto neighboring properties. Beachside sea turtle lighting adds strict limits. Complaint-driven enforcement through code compliance. Security lights must be aimed and shielded.
Brevard County Code Chapter 62 prohibits outdoor lighting that causes unreasonable glare or illumination on neighboring properties. Typical residential limit is 0.5-1.0 foot-candle at the property line. Security lights (floodlights, motion lights) must be aimed and shielded to illuminate only the owner's property. Lights aimed at neighboring homes are prohibited. On beachside properties, light trespass requirements merge with sea turtle lighting - any light visible from the beach May 1-October 31 is a violation. String lights and decorative lighting common in beachside bars/restaurants must be shielded from the beach. Enforcement is complaint-driven through Brevard County Code Compliance. Holiday lighting (November-January) generally exempt from trespass rules but still subject to turtle lighting during overlap with nesting tail-end.
Light trespass: warning and 30-day correction. Non-compliance: $100-$500 per violation. Commercial: up to $1,000. Beachside during turtle season: $500-$2,500 per night. Repeated: escalating fines.
