Jupiter Code Chapter 18 classifies rank weeds, overgrown grass, and dead vegetation above 12 inches as public nuisances. Owners must abate within 10 days of notice or face daily fines and town abatement with a property lien.
Invasive exotic species (Brazilian pepper, Australian pine, melaleuca, air potato) must be removed under Jupiter LDR Section 27-1776 from any development site. Code compliance routinely inspects vacant lots and foreclosure properties. Homeowners with intentionally maintained wildflower or Florida-Friendly yards are exempt if the yard is clearly a managed landscape.
