Spanish Fork enforces nuisance vegetation standards requiring property owners to keep grass and weeds trimmed. Excessively tall grass or weeds may constitute a public nuisance subject to abatement.
Spanish Fork Municipal Code addresses nuisance vegetation. Property owners are responsible for maintaining lawns and landscaping in a neat condition. Grass and weeds exceeding typical residential maintenance standards (generally 8–12 inches) may be declared a public nuisance. The city may issue a notice to abate and, if not corrected, send crews to mow at the property owner's expense. Utah County also enforces weed control under Utah Code §17-22-4 (County Weed Supervisor) for noxious weeds. Water-wise landscaping ordinance §15.4.16.130 encourages drought-tolerant plants.
Notice to abate. City mowing at owner’s expense ($200 to $500+). Administrative fees. Property lien.
