Boynton Beach treats noxious weeds and overgrowth as a Chapter 10 nuisance. Invasive species like Brazilian pepper and air potato must be removed during redevelopment. Herbicide use near canals is regulated by South Florida Water Management District.
Weed enforcement parallels the grass-height rule: vegetation over 10 inches on improved lots and any Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council Category I invasive triggers abatement. Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolia), melaleuca, Australian pine, and air potato must be removed during any site plan approval. Pesticide application within 50 feet of a canal or wetland requires compliance with SFWMD best management practices. Homeowners applying restricted-use herbicides need an FDACS applicator license.
Invasive not removed per site plan: building permit hold. Herbicide runoff into canal: FDEP violation up to $10,000 per day. Standard overgrowth: notice plus abatement lien.
