Gilbert enforces property maintenance standards requiring yards to be free of overgrown weeds and vegetation. Code Compliance addresses unmaintained properties through complaints and proactive monitoring.
Gilbert's Code Compliance division enforces property maintenance standards including weed and vegetation control. Residential and commercial property owners must keep landscapes maintained to prevent overgrown, unsightly, or hazardous conditions. While Gilbert does not specify a maximum grass height in inches, visibly overgrown properties are subject to enforcement. The town issues notices with compliance deadlines. Vacant lots are monitored for weed growth. Gilbert may perform abatement at the owner's expense if not corrected. The town's desert climate means seasonal monsoon rains trigger rapid weed growth requiring prompt attention.
Property owners receive notice with a deadline. Non-compliance results in town-performed abatement at the owner's expense plus administrative fees.
