I have been informed that my property is historically significant. What happens next?

Upon your approval, then your property will be included in a Preliminary Report that the Titusville Historic Preservation Officer submits to the Titusville Historic Preservation Board for review and comments. After this 30-day review period, the Board will sponsor a Public Hearing concerning all the properties that are being considered for designation. You will be notified of the date and time of this Public Hearing by certified mail to your address as recorded in the Assessor’s Office.

Based on the comments received at or before the Public Hearing, the Officer will prepare a Final Report for submission to the City Council. Based on their findings and a majority vote, they will determine which properties to designate. A resolution will be submitted to the Mayor for signature. The resolution is official upon its filing with the City Clerk and recording in the Official Records of Brevard County.
