Hillsborough County Property Maintenance Code §8-116 requires improved residential properties to keep grass, weeds, and dead vegetation trimmed below 18 inches in height. Brandon is enforced by Code Enforcement based on complaints and proactive patrols.
Owners receive a Notice of Violation with 10 days to abate. If unresolved, the County may abate the violation via contracted lot service and lien the property for costs plus an administrative fee. Vacant lots are also subject to the 18-inch standard.
$100–$250 administrative penalty; mowing/abatement contract lien (typically $250–$500 per cut).
