Sec. 9-283(1) prohibits accumulation of weeds, invasive species, undergrowth, or excessive grass that may communicate fire or harbor insects, rodents, or snakes. Sec. 9-283(5) declares palmettos, vines, and accumulated debris a nuisance subject to city abatement.
Sec. 9-283 is a broad weed-and-nuisance standard, not a list of specific banned species. The trigger is conditions 'detrimental to public health, safety, and general welfare' — fire risk, vector habitat for insects/rodents/snakes, or stagnant water. Florida's invasive-species concerns include Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius), melaleuca, Australian pine, and skunk vine — all on the FDACS noxious-weed list under F.S. §581.083 and prohibited from sale. Removal of these on private property may overlap with the §14-8-5 tree-permit rules if specimens are over 4 inches DBH (though invasive-species removal is generally permitted as 'hazard removal'). The Sec. 9-283 nuisance abatement uses the standard 7-day notice and $300 minimum abatement charge.
Sec. 1-22(b)(6) — $150 per lot-mowing/clearing violation. City abatement at minimum $300 plus actual cost, lien for nonpayment.
