The Urban Service Area was created in 1990 and has remained essentially unchanged since its adoption.

The County is currently undergoing an evaluation of their Comprehensive Plan. As part of that evaluation, the County is reviewing population projections through the year 2050 to determine if there is sufficient land available to accommodate projected growth. Indian River County is anticipated to grow from 167,781 residents in 2023 to 210,100 residents in 2050. The County is in the process of evaluating the capacity of the current Urban Service Area to accommodate the increase in growth through 2050.
