Chandler enforces property maintenance standards requiring yards to be kept free of overgrown weeds and vegetation. The Neighborhood Preservation division addresses unmaintained properties.
Chandler's Neighborhood Preservation division enforces property maintenance standards including overgrown vegetation and weed control. Residential and commercial property owners must maintain their landscapes to prevent unsightly or hazardous conditions. While Chandler does not specify a maximum grass height in inches, properties with visible overgrowth are subject to code enforcement. The city issues notices requiring abatement within a specified timeframe. Vacant lots are also monitored for weed growth. Chandler may abate the condition at the owner's expense if not corrected. The city promotes xeriscape as a low-maintenance landscaping alternative.
Property owners receive a notice to abate. Failure to comply allows the city to perform the work and bill the property owner for costs plus administrative fees.
