Oxnard requires residential properties to maintain landscaping and keep grass at a reasonable height. Overgrown vegetation that creates fire hazards or harbors pests is subject to abatement.
Under Oxnard's property maintenance code, owners must keep yards free of overgrown weeds and tall grass that may constitute a fire hazard, harbor vermin, or detract from neighborhood appearance. Grass and weeds should generally be kept below 12 inches. The city's code compliance division enforces property maintenance standards and may issue notices for overgrown properties. Vacant lots are also subject to weed abatement requirements.
Property owners receive a notice to abate overgrown vegetation within a specified time. Failure to comply may result in city-performed abatement at the owner's expense plus administrative fees.
