Cocoa Beach adopts updated International Property Maintenance Code on first reading

Cocoa Beach City Commission · March 20, 2026

Summary

Commission adopted a 2024 update to the International Property Maintenance Code (local amendments included) on first reading to modernize enforcement and reflect current standards.

The commission adopted on first reading an ordinance to adopt the 2024 edition of the International Property Maintenance Code with local amendments to align enforcement language and standards for items such as grass height.

Deputy development services director (Brian Palmer referenced in the agenda) explained the update removes outdated sections and harmonizes local code language with current model code provisions; staff said the city had previously adopted an earlier edition and sought the update to remain current. The measure passed 5‑0 on first reading.

Staff will incorporate the amended code sections into the city code and move forward with implementation and enforcement updates.
