City Council Meeting · 2026-04-28 · agenda_item

The City of Melbourne is reviewing a new ordinance, Ordinance No. 2026-18, that would create a new process for certificates of occupancy and certificates of engineering construction completeness. This ordinance is currently under review and has had its first reading. The proposed changes would amend City Code Appendix D, Chapter 13, Article II, by adding a new Division 7. This process is planned to affect future construction projects by establishing new requirements for final approval. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers involved in construction and development may find it beneficial to understand these new regulations as they are finalized. Early engagement with the city's planning and zoning department could provide insights into how this ordinance will impact future permitting and project timelines.
