Code Enforcement Board Meeting · 2026-06-18 · agenda_item

The City of Cocoa Code Enforcement Board is reviewing a proposed amendment to City Code Chapter 6, Article III, Section 6-901 concerning property maintenance standards. This amendment focuses on the clearance of lands, requiring property owners to maintain weeds, grass, and underbrush to a height not exceeding twelve inches. For properties over five acres, this maintenance is required on a strip one hundred feet wide around the perimeter that fronts a public street, drainage or utility easement, or is adjacent to occupied property, with the entire property requiring removal of trash, debris, refuse, filth, junked appliances, and other noxious matter. This item is currently under review by the Code Enforcement Board. The work would involve regular maintenance services such as mowing, weed eating, and debris removal. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in landscaping, lawn care, and waste removal could find opportunities by engaging with the city or property owners early in the review process, before specific contracts or requirements are finalized.
