Under Texas Health & Safety Code §342.004 and the Cedar Park Code, owners must keep property clear of weeds, brush, rubbish, and public nuisances. The City may mow, lien the property, and prosecute repeat violators as Class C misdemeanors.
Cedar Park Code Compliance enforces weed and brush violations under the authority of Texas HSC Chapter 342. A nuisance is any condition described in §343.011, including weeds, rubbish, stagnant water, or other unsanitary conditions. The City mails a notice giving the owner a defined period to abate; if the owner does not comply, the City performs the work and assesses the cost as a personal liability and a lien against the property under §342.007. Vacant lots and rental properties are subject to the same rules. Brush piles and accumulated yard waste are also nuisances under §343.011(c).
Failure to abate after notice can result in: (1) City-performed mowing/cleanup billed to the owner, (2) a lien filed against the property, and (3) Class C misdemeanor prosecution with fines up to $2,000 per day per Tex. HSC §342.004 and Cedar Park Code Compliance practice.
