Bostonia is unincorporated San Diego County, which sets no fixed grass-height number. Instead, overgrown, dry, combustible vegetation is treated as a fire-hazard public nuisance the county can order cleared.
San Diego County has no ordinance capping lawn grass at a specific inch height. In the unincorporated area, tall dry grass and weeds are regulated through the Defensible Space for Fire Protection Ordinance and Code Compliance. The Fire Warden may declare accumulated combustible vegetation a public nuisance and require abatement. Code Compliance also investigates a general 'lack of private property maintenance such as overgrown lawns, trees, shrubs, fences, and buildings' as a nuisance, rather than by a numeric height standard.
Failure to abate declared vegetation nuisance lets the county clear it and bill the owner, with costs recoverable as a special assessment or lien.
