Vallejo requires property owners to maintain grass and vegetation below maximum height limits. Overgrown yards subject to code enforcement and abatement.
Vallejo code compliance enforces maximum vegetation height on residential and commercial properties. Grass, weeds, and overgrown vegetation exceeding the height limit (typically 6 to 12 inches) constitute a public nuisance under CA Health & Safety Code §14875. Property owners receive a notice to abate with a compliance deadline (usually 10 to 30 days). If not corrected, the city may abate and charge costs to the property owner via a property lien. Fire hazard areas may have stricter requirements under defensible space rules.
Notice to abate. City abatement at owner’s expense ($200 to $1,000+). Administrative fees. Property lien for non-payment.
