Pompano Beach requires property owners to maintain lots free of overgrown vegetation and brush. Section 96.26 defines dense growths of trees, underbrush, and wild growth on developed property as public nuisances. Regular maintenance is required. Broward County open burning regulations apply. Debris removal must follow solid waste collection rules.
Section 96.26 of the Pompano Beach Code of Ordinances defines dense growths of trees, underbrush, shrubs, or wild growth on developed property as public nuisances, provided the removal is not prohibited by governmental agencies. Property owners must maintain vegetation to prevent fire hazards, pest harborage, and neighborhood blight. Broward County Chapter 27, Article IX governs open burning. The Florida Division of Forestry may impose seasonal burn bans. Cut vegetation and brush must be disposed of through the city's bulk waste collection program. The Code Compliance Department enforces vegetation maintenance standards.
Dense overgrowth constituting a public nuisance under §96.26 is a code violation. Fines and abatement may result.
