Jupiter requires property owners to maintain defensible space by clearing dead vegetation, fallen palm fronds, and overgrown brush within 30 feet of structures. Vacant lots must keep grass below 18 inches and remove invasive species like Brazilian pepper and melaleuca.
Town Code Chapter 18 Nuisances authorizes code enforcement to cite properties with excessive vegetation creating fire hazards. Palm Beach County Fire Rescue may order additional clearance in wildfire-prone corridors near J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area and the Loxahatchee River. Owners get 10 days written notice to abate; town may cut and lien costs if ignored.
Initial notice: 10 days to comply. Non-compliance: 100 dollar per day fine plus abatement costs lienable on property. Repeat violators face special magistrate hearings.
