Code Enforcement Board · 2026-04-22 · agenda_item

This notice is about a planned change to stormwater system regulations in the City of Melbourne. The city's Code Enforcement Board is reviewing rules that require permits for altering stormwater systems. Specifically, any changes to land use, construction of new structures, or modifications to existing structures that affect stormwater runoff patterns will need engineering permits. This includes subdividing land, construction, or any alterations to stormwater systems. The modification of control structures for retention areas must be designed by a licensed professional engineer and submitted for permitting before work can begin. This review stage means that future projects requiring stormwater system modifications will need to follow these permitting processes. The work involved would include engineering design, permitting, and construction related to stormwater management systems. Local contractors, engineers, and suppliers involved in site preparation, grading, concrete work, and utility installation may find opportunities as these regulations are clarified and enforced.
