Maricopa County Ordinance P-11 addresses weed and vegetation control as part of its property abatement program. Properties with excessive weeds that constitute a nuisance, fire hazard, or health concern may receive an Order of Abatement. After 10 days from issuance, the county may enter and remove weeds at the owner's expense.
The Abatement Officer may issue an Order of Abatement requiring property owners to remove weeds, trash, debris, or other nuisance conditions. If not remedied within 10 days, the county may perform the work and assess costs as a special lien against the property. Code Compliance enforces only in unincorporated areas.
