Irvine requires residential properties to be maintained free of overgrown vegetation under IMC Title 4, Division 13 (Code Enforcement). While no specific grass height limit is codified, vegetation creating a nuisance or fire hazard is subject to enforcement.
Under IMC Title 4, Division 13 (Code Enforcement), Irvine requires all properties to be maintained in a condition that does not constitute a nuisance, health hazard, or fire risk. Overgrown grass, weeds, and dead vegetation are subject to abatement. The city's Code Enforcement Division proactively monitors residential and commercial properties. Irvine's boundary landscaping requirements in the Zoning Ordinance also establish maintenance standards. Minimum penalties under IMC Section 4-13-201 apply to property maintenance violations.
Property owners who fail to maintain vegetation receive notices of violation. Continued non-compliance results in administrative fines per IMC Section 4-13-201.
