Environmental Permitting

Environmental Permitting is responsible for administration and enforcement of the county's tree protection and wetland protection ordinances. Permitting staff provide on-site inspection and review for a variety of environmental resources including trees, wetlands and wetland buffers, threatened and endangered species, and the review of residential projects within the Class II overlay zone along the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon for compliance with storm water and natural vegetation requirements.
