Port St. Lucie addresses weeds together with high grass: all grass and weeds on improved property must be kept mowed below 12 inches under Section 41.08(B). Owners must also keep the swale and liner clear of debris and obstructions.
Port St. Lucie regulates weeds under the same provision as high grass. Code Section 41.08(B) ('High grass & weeds') requires that all grass be mowed below 12 inches on all improved property (a lot with a structure built upon it), which the Code Compliance Division applies to weed overgrowth as well. Property owners must also maintain the abutting swale: Section 41.08(H)(1) requires each homeowner to regularly mow and remove debris, litter, and obstructions from the swale area and liner. Enforcement is complaint- and patrol-driven through the Neighborhood Services Department; overgrown lots and weeds are among the most common residential violations. Vacant or unimproved lots are handled through the city's Vacant Lot Encroachment Program rather than the 12-inch improved-property standard.
Weed and grass overgrowth violations are cited by Code Compliance. Owners are given time to abate; failure can lead to special-magistrate fines and city abatement (mowing/clearing) of the property with costs assessed to the owner.
