C. City Code Chapter. 6- BUILDINGS, CONSTRUCTION AND PROPERTY

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

The City of Cocoa's Code Enforcement Board is reviewing a proposed amendment to city code regarding unfinished structures. The current code addresses permitting unfinished structures after building permits expire. The proposed change would allow the city council to grant extensions for unfinished structures, potentially up to five years from the original permit date, if undue hardship and just cause are shown. The council could also set conditions to ensure public health and safety. This review stage means potential future construction or remediation work related to existing unfinished structures could be planned. Contractors specializing in site preparation, general contracting, carpentry, concrete, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, painting, and landscaping may find opportunities as these projects move forward. Early engagement with city planning and code enforcement could provide insight into upcoming needs.
