That office answers flood zone determination and Base Flood Elevation questions and keeps copies of FEMA Elevation Certificates and Letters of Map Amendment and Revision. The city also reviews FEMA map revision applications based on fill at no added city cost, which can remove a structure from the Special Flood Hazard Area.

Titusville handles tree removal through a site permit issued by Development Services, and the application follows the city's Environmental Protection Technical Manual. The applicant submits a drawing showing where each tree to be removed is located on the lot. An owner's authorization form is also required whenever someone other than the property owner applies.

For a property on the Titusville Register of Historic Places, the Historic Preservation Board reviews alterations or repairs visible from a public way that would permanently change the design, materials or outward appearance of the building.

Changes to the arrangement of features such as windows and doors are also reviewed. Routine maintenance that uses the same design and materials is exempt, as is reconstruction after a fire or disaster when it happens within a year and closely matches the original building.

Titusville provides its own water, sewer and garbage service, and new accounts are opened at the Customer Service office on the first floor of City Hall, 555 S. Washington Avenue, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays.

A deposit is collected when the account starts, and for a typical home the city lists $40 for water, $60 for sewer and $48 for garbage, plus a $15 administrative fee that is not refunded. Residential deposits are returned after 36 consecutive months of good payment history.

Titusville issues a utility bill every month, and each bill is due 15 days after it is issued. Payments can be made online through the city's payment portal, in person with the cashiers at City Hall, or by check in the night drop box at the front entrance.

An unpaid account receives a delinquent notice 10 days before the scheduled shutoff date, and restoring service after a shutoff requires the past due balance, a $25 reconnection fee and any required deposit.

Titusville may adjust a utility bill when water did not go into the sanitary sewer, such as after a main line break, a slab leak or filling a pool. A written request has to be made within 60 days after the bill in question is received. Only one adjustment is allowed in any 12 month period, and Customer Service at 321-383-5791 explains the process.

For a water main break or a sewer backup during working hours, Titusville Public Works Field Operations takes calls at 321-567-3883, Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. After hours, the city's emergency utility line is 321-383-5657. The city notes that water past the meter belongs to the customer, so leaks and flooding on the property side of the meter are the owner's responsibility.

Titusville treats sewage at its Blue Heron and Osprey plants to near drinking water quality and sends it through a separate pipe system for irrigation and commercial cooling towers. Reclaimed water follows the same watering restrictions as well water, and service can be paused when supply runs short or quality falls below Florida Department of Environmental Protection standards. The Water Reclamation Branch can be reached at 321-567-3891.

Titusville has charged a stormwater utility fee since 1990, and it appears once a year as a non ad valorem assessment on the property tax bill, payable between November 1 and March 31.

The fee covers the fiscal year from October 1 through September 30 and applies to developed property even when a homestead exemption removes other taxes. Each detached single family home is billed one Equivalent Residential Unit, and the same early payment discounts used for property taxes apply.

The Titusville Solid Waste Division collects garbage once a week, recycling every other week and containerized yard waste every week, all on the same collection day. Carts and yard waste must be at the curb by 6:30 a.m., and collection fees appear on the monthly utility bill. The division is at 2910 Garden Street and can be reached at 321-383-5755.

Roofing and construction materials are not collected, and piles should sit at least 6 feet from trees, mailboxes and poles and 10 feet from vehicles.

Titusville sorts events into three classes under Chapter 11, Article XII of the City Code, with Class A drawing visitors from across the region, Class B serving a local audience and Class C covering private use of city property.

For a public street in Titusville, Public Works at 321-567-3846 provides the streetlight request form, which needs written approval from residents within 100 feet of the proposed light. The completed form is mailed to Public Works at 2910 Garden Street, and Florida Power and Light then installs the light in roughly 5 weeks to 5 months. The city does not place lights on private streets, so those requests go to FPL directly.

The Titusville Police Department takes calls that are not emergencies at 321-264-7800. Emergencies should always go to 911. The department serves property inside Titusville city limits, while nearby unincorporated areas are served by the Brevard County Sheriff's Office.

Under section 171.044, Florida Statutes, only property that touches the existing city boundary can be annexed, and annexation may not create enclaves.

In Titusville, every owner of the property signs a voluntary annexation petition, and the land joins the city when the City Council adopts an annexation ordinance. Property annexed before June 1 shows the city millage on the tax bill mailed that November, and Planning answers questions at 321-567-3782.
