Port Hueneme requires property owners to maintain vegetation at reasonable heights under PHMC property maintenance standards. Overgrown grass and weeds exceeding approximately 12 inches may be cited as a nuisance.
PHMC property maintenance provisions require residential and commercial lots to be kept free of excessive weeds, dead vegetation, and overgrown grass. Vegetation that creates a fire hazard, harbors vermin, or becomes unsightly constitutes a nuisance. The City's Code Compliance division enforces vegetation standards through complaint-driven inspections. If property owners fail to comply after notice, the City may abate the condition and assess costs to the property owner.
Notices of violation provide a correction period (typically 10-30 days). Failure to comply may result in city-performed abatement with costs plus administrative fees billed to the owner. Liens may be placed on the property for unpaid abatement costs.
