Summary of County Land General Use Classification Project 11-ta.i. All lands in Indian River County were classified into one of eight categories. The Indian River County Property Appraiser (IRCPA) parcel and tax roll data were used as the base information. Land classifications were determined using a number of sources including parcel ownership, property use codes, zoning, residential subdivision projects, IR Mosquito Control District impoundment data, and knowledge from County staff. The parcel data includes some parcels with many different combinations of ownership, leases, and management agreements. The data were compiled using available information as of November 2019. The area in square miles and percentages of each land general use category are provided in Table 1 and the Chart in Figure 1. Descriptions of each land classification category are provided in Table 2. The total area covered by the political boundary of Indian River County covers approximately 540 square miles. The three categories of Conservation, Designated Open Space, and Stormwater Ponds cover an area of approximate 169 square miles covering approximately 31.3% of the total area of Indian River County.
