Winter Park limits grass and weeds on improved lots to a maximum height of 10 inches. Taller growth is treated as a nuisance and subject to code enforcement action and potential city abatement.
The Winter Park Code of Ordinances empowers code enforcement to cite properties with overgrown grass and weeds. After notice, owners typically have 10 days to mow. If not cut, the city arranges mowing and places the cost as a lien against the property. Enforcement is active year-round given Florida's extended growing season.
Initial notice with cure period. Failure to comply can trigger administrative fines up to 250 dollars per day plus abatement costs.
