Zephyrhills limits grass and weed height to 12 inches. Property owners must keep premises clean and remove dead trees, limbs, overgrown shrubs, and brush piles. A 10-day notice is given for compliance. The city may abate the nuisance and file a lien for costs if unpaid after 30 days.
Code enforcement officers issue notices upon finding violations, demanding abatement within 10 days. If not corrected, citations are issued. Abatement charges become a lien on the property. Charges remaining unpaid for 30 days result in the City Manager filing a statement of lien with Pasco County records containing the legal description, expenses, and date of abatement.
First violation receives a notice to mow within 10-14 days. Failure to comply: county mows and bills $200–$800 plus $150 admin fee. Repeat violations within 12 months face $100–$500 fines.
