Jax-Duval Ordinance Ch. 518 Property Safety Code requires removal of noxious weeds and prohibits accumulation of dead vegetation creating a fire or pest hazard.
Chapter 518 regulates 'weeds and overgrowth' together with grass height (12 inches improved, 36 inches unimproved). Invasive exotic species (Brazilian pepper, air potato, cogongrass) treated as nuisance when spreading to adjacent property. Property Safety Division handles complaints.
