What is the process for finalizing the assessment?

The Cocoa City Council conducted a first reading of the proposed rate resolution on August 28, 2019 at the regularly scheduled Cocoa City Council meeting. Council then considered the proposed rates for final adoption following a public hearing on September 11, 2019 at the regularly scheduled Cocoa City Council meeting. The proposed changes have been adopted, the new rates will take effect as of October 1, 2019 and will be billed for the year (October 1, 2019 - September 30, 2020) on your tax bill, which will be mailed by the Brevard County Tax Collector’s Office in November 2019.
