Suwanee property maintenance code treats excessive weeds (over 12 inches) as a public nuisance. Noxious weeds on Georgia Dept of Agriculture list must be controlled.
Excessive weed growth is enforced alongside grass height rules — typically 12 inches triggers a nuisance citation. Georgia Department of Agriculture maintains a noxious weeds list (kudzu, cogongrass, etc.); property owners may be required to control these regardless of height. Code Enforcement issues a notice to abate with a compliance deadline before citation or city abatement.
Initial notice then citation: $100-$500. City abatement billed to owner, lien if unpaid.
