Citrus Heights considers grass or weeds over 6 inches a public nuisance subject to abatement under the city municipal code and state weed abatement law.
Under Citrus Heights Municipal Code property maintenance standards and California Government Code Sections 39560 through 39588, overgrown vegetation, weeds, and dry grass exceeding 6 inches in height are declared a public nuisance. The city contracts annual weed abatement through Sacramento Metro Fire District. Owners receive a notice to abate, typically with 30 days to comply. Dead trees, accumulated yard debris, and rank growth of weeds also qualify. If the property is not cleared, the fire district contracts the work and places the cost plus administrative fees as a lien on the property tax roll.
Administrative abatement typically costs 500 dollars or more including clearance, inspection, and processing fees, all placed as a tax lien.
