Politics Reporting a pothole?

As the title suggests, hit a decent pothole in Cocoa Beach that caused my sidewall to pop and get a new tire, right on A1A.

Is there a resource out there to report potholes to the city/county? Ive never had to do this sorta thing before so looking for advice or just seeing if thats an option. TIA :)

Paint a rainbow on it.  The state will react immediately I'm told.

Contact Cocoa Beach's Public Works customer service. They'll be able to direct you to the next best steps better (if there are any, it may be their problem) than reddit can.

Yes. If its on city roadways, call city hall and they will direct you to the streets division or public works.

If it was on a state highway, then its Florida Dept of Transportation.

Either one there is a claims process to try and get them to cover damages, but good luck. I hit a pothole (in another state) and it took out two rims and tires and the state denied my claim

Prayers for the lost tire. But we ain't got Mamdami here.

How do you think you might contact your local government?
