Brevard County court and clerk resources

Titusville is the county seat, and Brevard County is in Florida’s Judicial Circuit 18.

Confirm the appropriate courthouse or division before filing or attending a hearing.

Residential evictions in Brevard County

Start by identifying the reason you seek possession, such as unpaid rent, a lease violation, or a tenant remaining after the tenancy ends. The reason matters when evaluating the lease, the notice, and the documents you need. Residential landlord-tenant matters are addressed in Part II of Chapter 83.

Commercial evictions and lease defaults

For a storefront, office, warehouse, or other commercial space, review the signed lease and amendments for the default, notice and cure provisions, and the treatment of additional rent. Gather any guaranty separately if you also want to evaluate collection. Chapter 83 addresses nonresidential tenancies in Part I.
