What is a Fertilizer Free Zone?

A Fertilizer Free Zone is exactly what it sounds like: an area free of fertilizer. Residents who live along the Indian River Lagoon are prohibited from using fertilizer within 25 feet of the shoreline of the Indian River Lagoon. All property owners are prohibited from using fertilizer within 10 feet of any water body.

All property owners, especially those living near water bodies, are encouraged to plant native vegetation and practice Florida-Friendly landscaping techniques to reduce or eliminate all fertilizer use. Visit our water conservation pages to learn more about Florida-Friendly landscaping.
