Ventura requires property owners to maintain vegetation and prevent overgrowth that constitutes a nuisance or fire hazard. Combustible vegetation including overgrown grass and weeds must be cleared, especially during fire season. Code enforcement addresses properties with unmaintained vegetation.
Property owners in Ventura must maintain their lots free of excessive vegetation growth that creates fire hazards or constitutes a public nuisance. Combustible material including seasonal weeds, stubble, and overgrown grass must be cleared per fire hazard abatement requirements. The City's code enforcement division addresses complaints about overgrown vegetation. Properties in hazardous fire areas face stricter clearance requirements (100-foot defensible space). During fire season, the Ventura City Fire Department may issue abatement notices for properties with excessive vegetation. Standard residential properties should maintain grass and vegetation at reasonable heights to avoid nuisance complaints.
Properties with excessive vegetation growth may receive notice of violation. If not corrected within the specified timeframe, the City may perform abatement and bill the property owner. Fines range from $100-$500 plus abatement costs.
