Brevard County Code Chapter 22 (Nuisances) and the Property Maintenance Code address blight. Common violations include peeling or failing exterior paint, broken or boarded windows, damaged or missing roofing (especially post-hurricane), junk and debris accumulation, overgrown vegetation, dilapidated structures, and vacant buildings not secured. Code Enforcement (321-633-2086) issues a Notice of Violation with a 10 to 30 day compliance period. Non-compliance triggers Special Magistrate hearing.

The county may abate nuisance conditions (mow, clean up) and lien the property for costs. Vacant property registration required under §22-82 within 30 days of vacancy. Hurricane-damaged properties have extended compliance timelines but must be secured within 30 days of storm.
