Huntington Beach requires property owners to maintain lots free of weeds and overgrown vegetation under HBMC Chapter 17.10 (Nuisance Code). Weeds creating fire, health, or safety hazards are declared nuisances subject to abatement.
Under HBMC Chapter 17.10, premises with an accumulation of weeds, overgrown vegetation, dead organic matter, or similar conditions that constitute fire, health, or safety hazards are designated nuisances. Property owners must maintain their lots clear of excessive vegetation. Vacant lots are held to the same standards. The Code Enforcement Division monitors properties and issues notices of violation. The city may abate the condition and assess costs against the property if the owner fails to comply.
Non-compliance after notice results in administrative fines and potential city abatement with cost recovery.
