Deltona requires yards to be maintained so that grass and weeds do not exceed 12 inches in height. High weeds and grass are among the most common code violations. Code Compliance actively enforces lawn maintenance standards throughout the city.
Deltona's property maintenance code requires residential and vacant lots in city limits to maintain grass and vegetation at or below 10-12 inches in height. Properties that exceed this threshold are subject to code enforcement action. After a complaint or inspection, the property owner receives a written notice with a 10-14 day compliance deadline. If the property is not mowed by the deadline, Deltona may contract a mowing crew and bill the owner for the cost plus administrative fees. The tropical/subtropical climate affects growing seasons and enforcement patterns — peak enforcement typically runs from spring through fall.
First violation receives a notice to mow within 10-14 days. Failure to comply: county mows and bills $200–$800 plus $150 admin fee. Repeat violations within 12 months face $100–$500 fines.
