Collier County's weed and litter ordinance (Section 54-185) treats accumulation of weeds, grass or similar overgrowth over 18 inches as a violation. The county also requires removal of prohibited Category I invasive exotic plants.
Section 54-185 of the Collier County Code (Chapter 54, Article VI, Litter, Weed and Exotics Control) is the county's weed nuisance rule: overgrowth over 18 inches on a mowable lot is prohibited, with the Estates 30-foot-from-a-residence variation. Separately, the county requires removal of Category I invasive exotic vegetation as listed by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council, such as Brazilian pepper, Australian pine, ear-leaf acacia and melaleuca, and continued control so they do not re-establish. Landscaping must be kept free of refuse, debris, disease, pests and weeds. These rules apply in unincorporated Collier County; incorporated cities enforce their own weed codes.
Notice of violation to abate; unresolved cases go to a Code Enforcement special magistrate. County abatement costs and daily fines can become a property lien.
