2. City Code Chapter 6 – Buildings, Construction and Property

Code Enforcement Board Meeting · 2026-08-20 · agenda_item

This item concerns a property maintenance violation at an unstated address within the City of Cocoa, Brevard. The property owner is required to cut weeds and grass to a height not exceeding twelve inches and remove trash, debris, filth, junked appliances, or other noxious matter. For properties over five acres, this requirement applies to a 100-foot strip around the perimeter bordering public streets, easements, or adjacent occupied property, with the entire property needing clearance of trash and debris. This matter is currently under review by the Code Enforcement Board and is scheduled for discussion on August 20, 2026. The work would involve site clearing, debris removal, and potentially landscaping maintenance. Local contractors specializing in property cleanup, landscaping, and debris hauling could find opportunities. Engaging early before final decisions are made may offer an advantage.
