Latest version.
  • Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the existence of an excessive growth of weeds, undergrowth, or other vegetation on a parcel of property which is located within 100 feet of any improved property endangers the public's health, safety, and welfare, and adversely affects and impairs the value of adjacent property, is a nuisance, and is prohibited. For purposes of this section, weeds, undergrowth, or other vegetation shall be considered excessive and untended if their height exceeds 18", or if the property on which the weeds, undergrowth, or other vegetation is located may reasonably be expected to become, or is, infested or inhabited by rodents, vermin, or wild animals, or may, or does, furnish a breeding place for mosquitos.
