Grass and weeds over 12 inches considered a nuisance under Suwanee property maintenance code. Notice to abate issued before penalties. City may mow and lien property for non-compliance.
Suwanee's property maintenance ordinance requires grass and weeds on developed lots be kept under 12 inches. Code Enforcement issues a written notice with a compliance deadline (typically 7-10 days). If not abated, the city may enter the property, mow, and bill the owner — unpaid charges become a lien on the property. Vacant lots and undeveloped parcels may have different standards.
Citation after notice period: typically $100-$500. City abatement charges plus administrative fee. Lien filed if unpaid.
