Iguana Removal in Broward County, FL

Green iguanas (Iguana iguana) are one of Broward County's most visible and damaging invasive species. Originally introduced through the pet trade, feral green iguana populations have exploded throughout South Florida, thriving in the county's warm climate and abundant tropical vegetation. Broward County's extensive canal system and waterfront communities are particularly heavily populated with iguanas, which excavate burrows near seawalls — causing structural damage to the critical infrastructure that protects canal-front properties from flooding. Individual iguanas can reach 5-6 feet in length and weigh up to 17 pounds.

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) designates the green iguana as an invasive species and actively encourages removal. The most active periods for iguana damage in Broward County are spring and summer when warm temperatures increase iguana activity, appetite, and burrowing behavior. Canal-front properties in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Miramar, and Pembroke Pines report among the highest iguana pressure in the county.

Iguana Removal in Broward County — FAQ

Are green iguanas invasive in Broward County?

Yes. The green iguana (Iguana iguana) is an invasive species in Florida with no legal protection. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) encourages removal from private property. Green iguanas were introduced through the pet trade and have established large feral populations throughout Broward County, particularly in waterfront communities, canal-front properties, and neighborhoods with mature tropical landscaping. FWC does not require a permit to remove iguanas from your own property, but removal must be done humanely.

What damage do iguanas cause in Broward County?

Green iguanas cause several types of damage to Broward County properties. They burrow extensively near seawalls, causing structural destabilization of canal-front and waterfront properties — a significant issue given Broward's extensive canal system. They consume ornamental plants, garden vegetables, and fruit trees. They defecate in pool areas, on lanais, and around outdoor living spaces. Large iguanas can also be aggressive when cornered, using their tails and biting when threatened. Properties near water are at highest risk.

Can I remove iguanas from my property myself in Broward County?

Florida law allows property owners to remove iguanas from their own property humanely. However, professional removal is recommended for large populations, aggressive animals, animals in difficult-to-access areas, and when seawall or structural damage is a concern. Trapping requires proper placement and technique to be effective. FWC regulations prohibit releasing captured iguanas elsewhere — they must be euthanized or kept. Our FWC-licensed technicians handle removal in compliance with all Florida regulations.
