Santa Rosa requires property owners to maintain vegetation and prevent overgrown conditions. Grass and weeds exceeding 12 inches are considered a nuisance subject to abatement.
Under Santa Rosa's property maintenance standards, owners must keep yards free of overgrown vegetation. Grass and weeds exceeding 12 inches in height are considered a public nuisance and fire hazard. The Code Enforcement Division issues notices for properties with excessive growth. During fire season, vegetation management is particularly strict near structures. Property owners must also maintain clear access to sidewalks and pathways.
Non-compliant properties receive a notice to abate. If owners fail to comply, the city may abate the nuisance and assess costs against the property.
