Pearland's nuisance ordinance treats overgrown weeds, brush, and rank vegetation as a public nuisance subject to abatement, fines, and liens against the property owner.
Pearland defines tall weeds, rank vegetation, and accumulations of cut brush as public nuisances under Chapter 13. The Code Enforcement division inspects on complaint and proactively, posts written notice on the property, and gives the owner a specific period to abate. Failure to comply allows the city to enter the property, abate the nuisance, and bill the owner. Unpaid charges become a lien on the lot. The rule covers harborage for rats and mosquitoes as well as fire and visibility hazards near streets.
Citation in municipal court, fines per day, plus actual abatement costs and a lien on the parcel until paid.
