Pasadena Code Enforcement addresses overgrown vegetation as a nuisance under Chapter 20. Properties must be maintained free of accumulations of rubbish, trash, and excessive vegetation. The city can abate nuisances and bill the property owner.
Pasadena Code Enforcement enforces property maintenance standards including the removal of overgrown brush, weeds, and dead vegetation. Unmaintained properties with excessive vegetation are considered a nuisance and health hazard. The city can issue notices of violation and, if the owner fails to comply, may abate the nuisance and place a lien on the property for costs. Given Pasadena's Gulf Coast location and subtropical climate, vegetation can grow rapidly and accumulate fire hazard conditions. The Fire Marshal's office may also address vegetation creating fire hazards near structures under the adopted IFC 2015. Code Enforcement can be reached at (713) 475-5588.
Nuisance violation: fine up to $2,000. City may abate and lien property for costs.
