Menifee has no standalone grass-height number in the Municipal Code, but enforces Riverside County Ordinance 695 (Hazardous Vegetation), which the Menifee Police Department's Code Enforcement division applies as an annual Weed Abatement Program. Common-violation guidance from the City lists 'grass/weeds that exceed six inches high' as a citable condition. Owners get a Notice to Abate and have 30 days to clear; non-compliance triggers an administrative citation and may lead to forced abatement at the owner's cost, recoverable as a Special Assessment Lien.
The City of Menifee Weed Abatement Program adopts Riverside County Ord. 695 'as amended,' which authorizes the abatement officer to order removal of weeds, dry grass, and other flammable vegetation. Improved parcels (with a structure) must maintain a 100-foot defensible-space strip toward adjacent structures and roadways — aligned with Cal. Public Resources Code §4291. Inspections commence in late spring and the program operates through the fire season (typically April through November). A second disc or mowing may be required mid-season. Public-nuisance authority is also reserved under Menifee Municipal Code §11.20.020 (prohibited public nuisance conditions). Riverside County Animal Services and the Riverside County Fire Department (CAL FIRE) handle parallel hazard-reduction enforcement under County Ord. 772.
Initial Notice to Abate gives 30 days to clear. Failure to comply: administrative citation, forced abatement by City-contracted crew, plus an administrative fee — total billed to the owner and recordable as a Special Assessment Lien against the parcel. Repeat-season non-compliance can trigger escalating citations.
