Miami-Dade enforces a year-round two-day-per-week irrigation schedule under Code Chapter 32 and South Florida Water Management District rules, restricting lawn watering to designated days and hours.
Chapter 32 of the Code of Miami-Dade County, aligned with South Florida Water Management District Rule 40E-24, limits landscape irrigation to two days per week. Odd-numbered addresses water Wednesdays and Saturdays; even and unnumbered addresses water Thursdays and Sundays. Watering is allowed only before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. to limit evaporation. Hand watering and micro-irrigation of new plants follow separate establishment-period rules. The county may impose tighter schedules during declared droughts, and code enforcement officers issue warnings before fines.
First violations typically receive a written warning. Repeat violations bring civil fines under Chapter 8CC, escalating with each offense and subject to lien if unpaid.
