Sec. 9-283(2) caps vegetative height at 12 inches measured by ruler or tape from grade. Property over 25 acres on agricultural exemption is excused from the height rule except within 50 ft of trails or rights-of-way.
Sec. 9-283 is the core property-maintenance grass standard. Sec. 9-283(2) sets the 12-inch cap with measurement methodology specified — by ruler or tape from grade. Sec. 9-283(3) requires immediate removal of cuttings after mowing. Sec. 9-283(4) makes disposing of clippings in the right-of-way, on another's property, in streets/alleys, or in the storm sewer system unlawful — directly tied to NPDES MS4 stormwater compliance. Sec. 9-283(5) lists palmettos, vines, garbage, rubble, debris, and stagnant water as nuisance conditions. Sec. 9-283(6) exempts agricultural-exempt parcels over 25 acres but not the 50-foot strip near trails/ROW. Sec. 9-283(7) provides a 7-day notice before city abatement. Sec. 9-283(8) sets a $300 minimum charge for city mowing.
Sec. 1-22(b)(6) sets a $150 fine per lot-mowing violation. City abatement minimum $300 plus actual cost, recorded as a lien for nonpayment. Persistent violators face Code Enforcement Board action: $250/day first violation, $500/day repeat per F.S. Ch. 162.
