Can you actually keep chickens or a horse there?
A buyer I know closed on a lot planning to put up a storage building, then found out after closing it wasn't allowed on that zoning. Check the zoning before you write the offer, not after you own it.
Zoning, not a guess.
This pulls the real zoning classification for an address from Brevard County's own GIS system, then reads it against Brevard County Code Sec. 62-2108, the actual ordinance covering farm animals and fowl. Not a listing site's guess, not a generic "Florida allows chickens" article. The county's own zoning map, for that address.
One real limit, up front: Brevard County's zoning only governs unincorporated county land. Every incorporated city in Brevard, Palm Bay, Melbourne, Titusville, Rockledge, Cocoa Beach, Satellite Beach, Cocoa, West Melbourne and the rest, sets its own separate zoning and its own separate animal rules. This tool covers the county side honestly. For an address inside a city, it tells you that plainly instead of guessing.

Where I stop.
It will not check setbacks, or clear a specific structure
Whether you can put up a shed, a barn or a storage building involves accessory-structure setback rules on top of the base zoning, and those vary by classification and by lot. This tool tells you the zoning and what the animal ordinance says for that zoning. It does not clear a specific building plan. Call Brevard County Planning & Zoning at (321) 633-2070 with your zoning code and your plan before you buy expecting to build something.
Two zoning families get an honest maybe, not a yes
Brevard's RA-2 zoning family reads as residential-agricultural in the ordinance, but I could not independently confirm it meets Sec. 62-2108's specific "zoned for agricultural use" test for horses. TRC-1 zoning, which covers Barefoot Bay, allows both residential and small commercial use, and I could not independently confirm the residential animal rules apply to it the same way they apply to a standard residential zone. Both get flagged clearly rather than a guessed yes or no.
It will not answer for an address inside a city
Palm Bay, Melbourne, Titusville, Rockledge, Cocoa Beach, Satellite Beach and Brevard's other incorporated cities each write their own zoning and their own animal ordinances. County code does not reach inside city limits. If your address is in one of them, this tool says so and stops, rather than answering with a rule that does not actually apply there.
Questions people actually ask.
Can I keep chickens on my property in Brevard County?
In unincorporated Brevard County, up to four chickens (no roosters) are allowed per half-acre of land in any single-family residential zone, per Brevard County Code Sec. 62-2108. The coop still needs to meet accessory-structure setbacks. This only applies outside city limits; Brevard's 16 incorporated cities set their own separate rules.
Can I keep a horse on my property in Brevard County?
Only on land zoned for agricultural use, and only with a minimum of five acres, per Brevard County Code Sec. 62-2108. This applies in unincorporated Brevard County only; each of Brevard's incorporated cities sets its own separate animal ordinance.
Does Brevard County zoning apply inside cities like Palm Bay and Melbourne?
No. Brevard County's zoning code and Land Development Regulations only govern unincorporated county land. Every incorporated city, including Palm Bay, Melbourne, Titusville, Rockledge, Cocoa Beach, Satellite Beach, Cocoa, and West Melbourne, adopts its own separate zoning code and its own separate rules on farm animals, accessory structures, and setbacks.
