Vacant Lot Maintenance

Santa Rosa County Code Enforcement does NOT investigate vegetative overgrowth (grass, limbs, woods) on private lots: the county sets no general mow-your-lot standard in the unincorporated area. It does act on trash, debris, illegal dumping and unsafe structures on vacant parcels. Cities like Milton set their own overgrowth rules.
