Annually, Florida houses 100,000 to 150,000 migrant farmworkers and their families. The migrant labor camp program currently issues over 650 permits in 31 counties assuring that migrant farmworkers and families live in housing that meets or exceeds standards set by law.
At least two permits for migrant farmworker housing are issued by Florida Department of Health in Indian River County and the fees vary based on the type of facility, number of residents, and compliance record. While in operation, these facilities are inspected twice a quarter.
