Jupiter requires lawns and yards to be maintained with grass and weeds kept below 12 inches in height. Town Code Chapter 18 treats overgrowth as a nuisance subject to abatement after 10-day notice.
Chapter 18 Nuisances empowers code compliance officers to cite properties with excessive vegetation, rank weeds, or dead vegetation creating a sanitary or fire hazard. Vacant lots held to same standard. Florida-Friendly Landscaping (FL 373.185) and ground covers are exempt from height rules provided they are intentionally maintained. Town may contract mowing and lien unpaid costs to the property.
First notice: 10 days to mow. Non-compliance: 100 dollars per day continuing fine plus cut-and-lien costs. Absentee owners routinely liened.
