Osceola County's West 192 minimum-maintenance code caps developed-property lawns, grass, and weeds at eight inches. Countywide, tall grass and weeds are enforced as an overgrowth nuisance through code enforcement, with liens for uncut lots.
In the regulated West US-192 commercial-corridor overlay, Osceola County Code § 23-62 requires developed property to keep the lawn (including grass and weeds) at or below eight inches in height, with looser limits for undeveloped, vacant, or agriculture-exempt parcels over 25 acres. Elsewhere in unincorporated Osceola County, overgrown grass and weeds are addressed as a property-maintenance nuisance under Chapter 23. Inside Kissimmee, St. Cloud, and other cities the city sets its own height limit. Homeowners inside an HOA also answer to deed restrictions, though those cannot override state Florida-Friendly Landscaping rights.
Code enforcement issues notice; unabated overgrowth can be county-abated and the mowing cost placed as a lien on the property under Chapter 23.
