Converse property maintenance rules require owners to keep lots clear of heavy brush, weeds, and dead vegetation that create fire or nuisance hazards. Notices of violation allow short cure windows before abatement.
Converse Code of Ordinances addresses overgrown vegetation and accumulated brush as public nuisances. Property owners must keep yards mowed and remove dead brush, tree debris piles, and other combustible yard accumulations, especially near structures and along property lines adjacent to grassland. Weeds and grass typically must not exceed 12 inches. When code enforcement issues a notice of violation, owners generally have 7 to 10 days to abate before the city can contract the cleanup and lien the property for costs plus administrative fees. During red flag fire weather or a Bexar County burn ban, enforcement focuses on fuel loads near homes. Defensible space practices are encouraged: remove brush within 30 feet of structures, thin overgrown cedars, and keep gutters free of leaf litter. Call Code Compliance at (210) 658-5356 to report hazards.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
