Lynn Haven Code Enforcement cites overgrown grass under Chapter 26 nuisance provisions. The standard cure period is typically 7-14 days after Notice of Violation; failure to cure triggers Special Magistrate fines and possible city abatement.
While Lynn Haven does not publish a specific inches threshold for grass like some Florida cities (where 12 inches is common), Code Enforcement enforces an overgrown-vegetation nuisance standard under Chapter 26. The process: (1) courtesy notice on the door or by mail; (2) Notice of Violation with cure period (typically 7-14 days); (3) re-inspection; (4) Special Magistrate hearing under Ch. 2 Art. III if not cured; (5) up to $250/day first violation, $500/day repeat (F.S. 162.09); (6) city abatement at owner cost added to lien. Brian Freeman (850-740-8633) is the city's Code Enforcement Officer.
F.S. 162.09 - $250/day first violation, $500/day repeat. Lien attaches under F.S. 162.09(3).
