Henderson prohibits overgrown vegetation, weeds, and dead plant material under HMC 8.60 nuisance code. Under AB 356, front-yard grass is being replaced with xeriscape at $3 per sq ft SNWA rebates.
HMC Chapter 8.60 and related property-maintenance provisions declare overgrown weeds, rank vegetation, and dead landscaping a public nuisance subject to abatement. Practical enforcement typically triggers on weeds and dry grass exceeding roughly 6 to 8 inches, or when dead vegetation creates fire or pest harborage. Under Nevada AB 356 (2021), non-functional turf on commercial, HOA common areas, and multifamily properties served by the Colorado River must be removed by the end of 2026, pushing the region toward xeriscape as the default. SNWA pays rebates of $3 per square foot for turf conversion (up to $5,000 for the first 5,000 sq ft, with additional incentives above). For remaining residential lawns, SNWA seasonal watering restrictions limit days and times of irrigation. Properties with dead or dying turf left untended can be cited for nuisance.
Nuisance abatement under HMC 8.60: notice to abate, city cleanup with lien on the property, and administrative fines if uncorrected.
