Spring Hill is an unincorporated CDP in Hernando County, so Hernando County Code Enforcement is the regulator. County ordinance makes it unlawful to allow grass or weeds to grow more than 18 inches tall (excluding seed pods) on any parcel within 100 feet of improved property, with exceptions for parcels zoned Agricultural (A/R, A/R1, A/R2), County 2.5, or Conservation. Owners receive a 20-day notice; if they fail to mow, a County-contracted contractor mows and the cost plus administrative fees is billed and ultimately liened against the property.
Hernando County Code Enforcement publishes the 18-inch standard in its Top 5 Most Common Code Violations and Frequently Asked Questions: 'County ordinance makes it illegal to permit grass or weeds to grow more than eighteen (18) inches tall, excluding seed pods. This does not apply to land on which the natural vegetation has not been removed.' The rule is geographically limited to vegetation within 100 feet of any improved property, with exceptions for parcels zoned Agricultural, A/R, A/R1, A/R2, County 2.5, or Conservation. The enforcement procedure is: (1) Officer inspects the property and contacts the owner; (2) Owner has twenty (20) days from receipt of notice to mow; (3) If the owner does not respond or does not mow, a pre-qualified contractor mows the property at a predetermined cost; (4) The County invoices the owner of record for the work done plus administrative costs; (5) If the bill remains unpaid for more than 30 days after the Board meeting to place the lien, a lien is recorded against the parcel. Hernando County Code Enforcement is located at 789 Providence Blvd., Brooksville, FL 34601.
Failure to mow within the 20-day notice period triggers County-contracted abatement at a predetermined cost. The owner is invoiced for the contractor cost plus administrative fees. If the invoice is unpaid 30 days after the Board of County Commissioners' meeting to impose the lien, a special assessment lien with accruing interest is recorded against the parcel. Persistent violators can be referred to the Code Enforcement Magistrate under Chapter 2 of the Code of Ordinances.
