Moreno Valley requires property owners to maintain vegetation and prevent overgrown conditions. The dry Inland Empire climate creates fire hazards from unmaintained yards. Code Enforcement actively patrols.
Moreno Valley requires residential and commercial properties to maintain yards and prevent overgrown conditions. Weeds, tall grass, and dead vegetation must be controlled to prevent nuisance and fire hazards. The hot, dry Inland Empire climate (temperatures regularly exceeding 100 degrees F) makes fire season a critical concern. Code and Neighborhood Services Division conducts proactive enforcement during fire season. Property owners receive a notice to abate with a compliance deadline. Non-compliance may result in city abatement with costs billed to the owner. Vacant lots are subject to the same maintenance requirements.
Overgrown vegetation: notice to abate. Non-compliance: city abatement at owner's expense.
