Summary
Fulshear property owners must keep lots clear of high weeds, grass, and accumulated brush that constitute a public nuisance, or face abatement and lien costs.
The Code Compliance Department maintains Fulshear's status as a clean, livable city by ensuring property complies with rules set by City Council. Code Compliance is responsible for enforcing the City ordinances related to Housing, Signs, Litter, Illegal Dumping, Weeds and Commercial Property. Trash & Debris When trash and debris accumulate, it is not only unsightly but very unhealthy. Old junk, garbage, tires, rubbish, furniture, appliances, car parts or anything else stored outside can be dangerous and is prohibited. Violators are issued a warning notice to perform specific action within an allotted time frame. If the warning notice goes unheeded, violators face large fines and penalties.
Full Breakdown
The City of Fulshear, under its nuisance and property maintenance provisions, requires owners and occupants of real property to keep premises free from weeds, brush, rubbish, and overgrown vegetation that pose a fire or health hazard. Code Compliance officers respond to complaints and issue notices to abate. If an owner fails to cut overgrowth or remove brush within the notice period, the city may have the work performed at the property's expense and assess a lien against the property. Vacant lots, easements, and street frontages are commonly cited.
Violations & Fines
Notices typically allow a short cure window; failure to comply triggers municipal abatement, fines, and a lien for clean-up costs against the property.
