Ocoee enforces weed and noxious vegetation rules through its general nuisance code, treating unmaintained growth over 12 inches as a violation. Invasive species such as Brazilian pepper, air potato, and cogongrass should be removed to prevent spread.
Chapter 108 of Ocoee Code addresses overgrown weeds alongside grass height. Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council Category I invasives are discouraged statewide, and the St. Johns River Water Management District coordinates regional invasive control. Property owners adjacent to canals, lakes, and retention ponds should manage invasive growth that threatens water bodies. Swale maintenance between the road and sidewalk remains the homeowner's duty. Herbicide use must comply with FL Department of Agriculture rules and product labels; spray drift onto neighboring property may create civil liability.
Notice with 10-day cure period. City abatement plus lien for contractor costs and $150+ admin fee. Invasive species allowed to spread onto public land may trigger additional enforcement by FWC or the water management district.
