Brevard County Section 114-28(b) requires grass and weeds within 25 feet of improved property (including roads) to be maintained below 10 inches. Overgrown vegetation is among the most common code complaints in unincorporated areas. Dead standing trees near improved property must be removed per Section 114-28(c).
Brevard County code compliance enforces maximum vegetation height (typically 10 to 12 inches). Overgrown grass and weeds constitute a nuisance. Property owners receive notice with compliance deadline (usually 10 days). If not corrected, the city may mow and charge costs via property lien. Vacant lots receive special attention. Florida’s year-round growing season means continuous maintenance is required. HOAs often have stricter landscape maintenance requirements. No state-level grass height statute in Florida.
Code violation notice issued. Failure to comply leads to county maintenance and property lien for costs.
