Osceola County treats overgrown weeds and grass as a property-maintenance nuisance under Chapter 23. In the West 192 overlay, developed lots must stay at or below eight inches; elsewhere overgrowth can be county-abated and liened.
Unincorporated Osceola County enforces weed and overgrowth complaints under the Chapter 23 property-maintenance and nuisance provisions. The regulated West US-192 corridor sets a firm eight-inch limit on grass and weeds for developed property under § 23-62, with different thresholds for undeveloped, vacant, or agriculture-exempt land. Genuine agricultural operations are protected by Florida's Right to Farm Act. If a lot is not maintained after notice, county code enforcement can abate the overgrowth and record the cost as a lien against the property. Incorporated cities enforce their own weed ordinances.
After written notice and a cure period, the county may mow the lot and place the abatement cost as a lien; repeat violations can draw daily fines through the code-enforcement board.
