Beaumont fire code requires property owners to maintain clearance from combustible vegetation. Vacant lots must be kept free of excessive brush and weeds. The fire marshal may conduct inspections during high fire danger conditions. Texas does not have a statewide defensible space law like California’s PRC §4291, so requirements vary by city. During drought, cities may enact emergency brush clearance orders. HOAs in master-planned communities often maintain common area vegetation.
Code compliance notice with correction deadline. City abatement at owner’s expense. Administrative fees and lien.
