For HOA boards and property managers in South Florida, iguanas aren't a single-home nuisance — they're a community-wide problem affecting shared seawalls, lakes, landscaping and property values. Here's how to get them under control.
Why iguanas are an HOA-level issue
Iguanas travel freely along community waterways, so they don't respect property lines. Burrows undermine shared seawalls and common-area hardscape, droppings foul amenity decks and docks, and landscaping budgets get eaten alive — literally. Individual owners treating their own lots can't solve a community-scale problem.
There's also a liability and property-value dimension: unmanaged infestations and seawall damage affect the whole association.
What an effective program looks like
Community iguana management combines recurring trapping to keep populations suppressed, burrow collapse and exclusion along shared seawalls, coordination with landscaping, and a single point of contact so residents aren't each hiring their own vendor. Consistency is key — iguana pressure is year-round.
A good program also includes resident communication so owners understand what's being done and why.
