The City of Hollywood explicitly prohibits grass and weeds over 8 inches in height under its property maintenance standards. This applies to all properties, including vacant lots and parcels. Code Compliance officers are assigned to geographic zones and proactively patrol for violations, with approximately 95% of activity initiated during routine patrol rather than complaints. When a violation is identified, a citation is issued specifying the code section violated and a compliance timeframe. The length of time allowed depends on the nature of the violation. Failure to comply within the timeframe results in the case being sent to the Special Magistrate for escalating fines. The city may abate the property and charge costs to the owner for persistent violations.
