Section 8.08.020 prohibits weeds, tall grass, or uncultivated growth higher than 12 inches as a public nuisance. The city may abate after notice and bill the property as a lien.
The nuisance definition in § 8.08.020 covers landscaping that is substantially dead, damaged, uncontrolled, or weed-infested at over 12 inches. Code Enforcement issues a notice giving the owner a defined abatement period (typically 10-30 days). If the owner fails to act, the city may enter and abate, billing the property owner for actual costs plus an administrative fee. Unpaid abatement costs become a lien recordable in the Mohave County property records.
Civil fine plus cost-recovery for any city-contracted abatement. Repeated violations on the same parcel escalate to higher penalties.
