Titusville, FL Public Conduct: Public Alcohol Use (2026)

Titusville Code of Ordinances Sec. 4-8 makes it unlawful to consume or possess an open container of beer, wine, alcoholic beverages or intoxicating liquors off the licensed premises of a bar, package store or bottle club and within 300 feet of that establishment. The 300-foot line is measured along the shortest route of ordinary pedestrian travel from the establishment's principal entrance to the location of the violation. The prohibition does not apply inside enclosed buildings, on premises occupied solely by residential structures, or to an owner or tenant of a residence within the 300-foot zone.

An open container is defined as any container immediately capable of being consumed from, or whose seal has been broken. Every establishment covered by the section must post a sign at least one foot by two feet, visible from both inside and outside the licensed area, warning that open-container possession within 300 feet is unlawful; the city manager sets the exact placement and lettering size, and a licensee who fails to post the sign or who serves alcohol out of compliance is itself in violation.

The city separately bars drinking or carrying an open container on any street, sidewalk or alley under Sec. 4-10, and restricts alcohol in parks, playgrounds and public parking lots under Sec. 4-9, with narrow carve-outs for Titusville Memorial Pier, the Titusville Municipal Marina, and city golf courses selling through a licensed vendor during operating hours.
