Orange County Code §9 treats noxious weeds and overgrown undergrowth over 18 inches as public nuisances subject to abatement. Invasive species like Brazilian pepper and air potato are targeted for removal.
Unincorporated Orange County classifies weeds, noxious vegetation, and undergrowth exceeding 18 inches on improved lots as a public nuisance under Chapter 9 of the Code. Code Enforcement responds to complaints and issues notices with 10 days to abate. The Orange County Environmental Protection Division partners with UF/IFAS on invasive plant removal programs targeting Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolia), melaleuca, air potato (Dioscorea bulbifera), and Japanese climbing fern. These species are exempt from any protection ordinance and removal is encouraged. Agricultural parcels over 5 acres are regulated under different vegetation standards recognizing working land uses per FL §163.3162 Right to Farm.
Nuisance weed abatement: county contractor cost plus $300 admin fee lien. Planting prohibited invasive per FL §581.083: FDACS fine. Chronic violations: $500/day.
