Peoria requires property owners to maintain yards free of overgrown weeds and dead vegetation. The desert landscape must be kept tidy and free of fire hazards and pest harborage.
Peoria's property maintenance standards require all properties to be maintained free of overgrown weeds, dead vegetation, and accumulated debris. In the desert environment, this includes controlling native weeds and volunteer plants that grow during monsoon season. Yards with turf grass must keep it mowed to a reasonable height. Properties with desert landscaping must maintain gravel or decomposed granite in good condition and keep weeds under control. Vacant lots are also subject to weed abatement requirements.
Property owners receive notices to abate overgrown vegetation. Non-compliance may result in city-performed abatement at the owner's expense.
