Marana Town Code Section 11-1-6 requires property owners to remove or control noxious weeds that pose fire hazards, health concerns, or aesthetic nuisance. Vacant lots are particularly targeted. The town may abate weeds and lien the property for costs.
Marana's weed abatement is codified in Section 11-1-6 of the Town Code. Property owners, including owners of vacant and undeveloped lots, must control weeds and maintain properties in a condition that does not create fire hazards or harbor vermin. Desert buffelgrass, a highly flammable invasive species, is a particular concern in the Sonoran Desert region and is subject to removal efforts coordinated with Pima County and the National Park Service. Code enforcement responds to complaints and conducts periodic inspections, especially during spring when winter rains produce heavy weed growth. After notice, property owners typically have 10-14 days to comply. If not corrected, the town may perform abatement and place a lien on the property for the cost of work performed.
Notice to abate with 10-14 day compliance period. Town abatement costs billed to property owner with potential lien.
