Cedar Park property owners must keep grass and weeds maintained. Under Texas HSC §342.008, the city may abate without notice weeds taller than 48 inches that pose an immediate health/safety danger; the City lists weeds over 48 inches as an immediate safety concern in its Common Violations page.
Cedar Park enforces high weed and grass nuisances under Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 342 (Local Regulation of Sanitation). Section 342.004 authorizes a municipality to require owners to keep property free of weeds, brush, and public nuisances as defined by §343.011. Section 342.008 specifically permits abatement without notice for weeds taller than 48 inches that present an immediate danger. Cedar Park's Code Compliance Division calls out weeds 'over 48 inches' as the threshold of an immediate safety concern because they can harbor snakes and vermin. Code Compliance is reached at 512-401-5100.
First violation typically receives a written notice with a deadline to mow (commonly 7-10 days). Failure to comply allows the City to abate (mow) the property and assess the cost as a lien under Texas HSC §342.007. Criminal nuisance citations under Chapter 342 are Class C misdemeanors carrying fines up to $2,000 per day for health and sanitation violations.
