Augusta requires property owners to maintain grass and vegetation at reasonable heights. Overgrown properties are considered a nuisance. The Unified Code Enforcement division handles complaints.
Augusta's property maintenance standards require owners to keep grass and weeds trimmed. Vegetation exceeding approximately 12 inches is considered a nuisance. The Unified Code Enforcement division inspects properties based on complaints. Owners receive notice and a deadline to mow. If not corrected, the city may contract mowing and bill the owner. Costs may become liens on the property.
Failure to maintain vegetation results in city-contracted mowing at the owner's expense.
