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

This item concerns a City of Cocoa Code Enforcement Board meeting regarding property maintenance standards, specifically the clearance of lands. The city requires property owners to cut weeds, grass, and underbrush to a height not exceeding twelve inches and remove trash, debris, and junked appliances. For properties over five acres, this requirement applies to a 100-foot strip around the perimeter that faces public streets, drainage, or utility easements, or is next to occupied property, with the entire property needing debris removal. This matter is currently under review by the Code Enforcement Board. The work involved would include site clearing, vegetation management, and debris removal. Local contractors, landscapers, and waste removal services could find opportunities as these regulations are enforced.
