About Indian River County

Coastal scrub and slash pine flatwoods dominate the mainland, transitioning to mangrove fringes and sea grape along the barrier islands. Interior areas feature remnant citrus groves interspersed with cabbage palm and saw palmetto prairie. The Indian River Lagoon shoreline supports salt marsh and tidal flat ecosystems.

Continued barrier island redevelopment with higher-value homes replacing older structures, citrus industry decline leaving groves available for conversion, steady retirement-community expansion in Vero Beach, Sebastian population growth along CR 512 corridor, and Fellsmere's transformation from agricultural to mixed-use development.

The Indian River Lagoon, designated an Estuary of National Significance, drives strict setback and stormwater requirements throughout the county. Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge -- the first federal refuge established in 1903 -- anchors conservation priorities in the Sebastian area. Coastal construction control lines govern all barrier island activity, and the county enforces mangrove trimming restrictions under state statute. Gopher tortoise surveys are required before clearing on sandy upland parcels, particularly west of US 1.
