Micco is the southernmost community in Brevard, near the Indian River County line.
If a hurricane or a flood has hit your home, you may be living with a tarp on the roof, fans in the hallway, or a claim that seems to move very slowly. Many people in your spot feel tired and unsure. They wonder if anyone will want the home now, and if they will lose money no matter what they do.

What this means in Micco
- The typical owner-occupied home in Micco is worth about $172,600, 49% below the Brevard County typical value. At about 6–8% total selling costs, that is roughly $10,400–$13,800 on a typical sale here; your own number depends on your price and mortgage.
- Micco is not a city, so Brevard County rules apply: building permits for repairs, roofs, additions and new homes go through Brevard County Building Code (Planning and Development). Open or missing permits can delay a closing, so checking them early saves time.
- To look up a home's flood zone in Micco, use Brevard County Floodplain Administration (Flood Zone Information). A home's flood zone decides whether a lender requires flood insurance.
What’s different for you
- Answer the three flood questions. Florida asks sellers about flood damage, flood insurance claims and flood help such as FEMA aid, before the contract is signed.
- Share other known problems. Florida sellers must disclose known hidden problems that affect value.
- Agree on repairs or a credit. Put in writing who repairs what, and what happens to open insurance claims.
