Burn Ban in Effect

On April 24, 2025, the Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) for Brevard County reached 500. Because of this, Brevard County implemented a ban on open burning pursuant to County Code Section 50. This includes campfires, bonfires, trash-burning and other similar open incineration. Prohibitions do not include state-permitted burns, use of barbeque grills, authorized public fireworks displays and fireworks sales which are authorized by state law. The Palm Bay Fire Rescue Fire Chief has imposed a burn ban within the city, effective April 24th, 2025, until further notice.

Floodplain Administration as well as CRS coordination for Fema flood insurance are housed in the Building Department located at 190 Malabar Road SW Suite 105. Currently Palm Bay has a CRS Rating of 7 which equates to a 15% reduction in FEMA Flood Insurance for the residents of Palm Bay. The Building department software maintains copies of all floodplain reviews with FEMA Elevation Certificates issued since 1993. Copies of all Letter of Map Amendments and Revisions (LOMA/ LOMR) from FEMA are also available.

For flood insurance questions, flood zone determinations, Base Flood Elevations, Elevation Certificates, Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) applications and floodplain permits please contact the Growth Management Department at (321) 952-3400 ext. 5246.

Please be advised that the City will not process LOMR-F applications for any lots. It is the contractor's responsibility to make application with FEMA to remove the structure from the Special Flood Hazard Area. By removing the structure from the Special Flood Hazard Area, the owner is not required to carry flood insurance for a Federally Insured Mortgage. The LOMR-F qualifies the structure for Preferred Risk Flood Policy (PRP) if the owner chooses.
