Peoria requires property owners to control weeds per the nuisance ordinance. Overgrown vegetation creating fire hazards, harboring vermin, or appearing unsightly is a violation. The city may abate at owner's expense. Peak weed seasons follow monsoon and winter rains.
Peoria's nuisance provisions require weed control. Property owners must keep lots free of overgrown vegetation. Common violations include tumbleweeds, buffelgrass, and broadleaf weeds. Vacant lots are primary enforcement targets. After notice, owners have a set period to comply. The city may hire contractors to abate and lien the property for costs. Code Compliance responds to complaints. Peoria's rapid growth means many vacant lots require monitoring.
Weed violations result in notice, fines, and potential city abatement with property lien.
