Indian River County zoning keeps boats, RVs, and trailers off front yards and street rights-of-way, generally allowing them on a driveway or screened to the side or rear. On the boating-heavy Treasure Coast, HOA and CDD covenants often go further.
Indian River County's land development regulations govern where boats, recreational vehicles, and trailers may sit on a residential lot. Storage in the street right-of-way or on a vacant lot is prohibited, and front-yard storage is limited; side- or rear-yard placement, often screened, is the usual allowance. Stored craft and trailers must be operable, licensed, and not used for living or business. This is deep boating country — trailered boats and center-consoles fill driveways from Sebastian and the Indian River Lagoon to the barrier-island neighborhoods — so demand for storage runs high. HOAs and CDDs across Vero Beach, Sebastian, and the gated island communities commonly restrict or ban visible boat and RV storage far more strictly than county code.
A parking or storage violation brings a county code-enforcement notice with a cure period, then daily fines under Florida's code-enforcement law, on top of any private HOA or deed-restriction enforcement.
