Brandon enforces weed and vegetation control through property maintenance codes under MS Code Ann. §21-19-11. Overgrown weeds are treated as nuisances subject to abatement.
Brandon addresses weeds and overgrown vegetation through nuisance abatement ordinances under MS Code Ann. §21-19-11. Weeds and rank vegetation exceeding 12 inches are generally considered a nuisance. Code enforcement may act on complaints or through proactive inspections. Invasive species such as kudzu, privet, and cogongrass are particular concerns in Mississippi. Property owners must control vegetation that harbors pests, creates fire hazards, or affects neighboring properties. Drainage ditches and easements must be kept clear of excessive vegetation. Mississippi's long growing season and warm, humid climate promote rapid weed growth. Vacant lots are monitored more frequently and subject to city abatement if owners fail to maintain them.
Notice to abate: 7 to 14 days. City abatement costs: $150 to $500 billed to owner. Liens placed for unpaid abatement. Repeat violations may result in direct fines.
