Gwinnett County nuisance ordinance treats weeds and grass over 12 inches as a public nuisance. Code Enforcement notices, abatement, and liens used for non-compliance. Applies to occupied residences and vacant lots alike.
Gwinnett County's property maintenance and nuisance provisions prohibit the accumulation of weeds, grass, or rank vegetation exceeding 12 inches. Code Enforcement issues a written notice with a cure period (commonly 7-14 days). If uncorrected, the county contracts abatement and bills the property owner; unpaid charges become a tax lien. Kudzu, poison ivy near walkways, and invasives can also trigger complaints.
Initial notice free. Abatement costs (mowing + admin fee) billed. Repeat offenders may face citations in Recorder's Court with escalating fines.
