Coral Springs Chapter 8 (Property Maintenance) requires property owners to keep lawns maintained and free of overgrown vegetation. Overgrown grass and weeds are among the most common code compliance violations. The city's Code Compliance Division actively patrols for property maintenance issues.
Under Chapter 8 (Property Maintenance) of the Coral Springs Code of Ordinances, property owners must maintain their lawns and prevent overgrown grass, weeds, and vegetation. Grass and weeds that grow excessively are subject to code compliance enforcement. The city's Code Compliance Division patrols neighborhoods and responds to complaints regarding overgrown properties. Violations for high grass and debris are among the most frequent code enforcement actions in Coral Springs. The city issues a notice of violation giving property owners a specified timeframe to remedy the condition. If the owner fails to mow within the compliance period, the city may abate the violation by having the property mowed and billing the owner for the cost. Repeated violations lead to code enforcement board hearings.
Overgrown grass violations result in a notice of violation with a compliance deadline. Fines start at a few hundred dollars and escalate for repeat offenses. The city may mow noncompliant properties and place a lien for the cost. Monthly fines accrue for open violations.
