Norfolk County does not enforce weed abatement. Individual municipalities enforce property maintenance under MGL c. 111 §122 (nuisance) and the State Sanitary Code (105 CMR 410) for rental property.
Weed abatement authority in Norfolk County rests with each municipality's board of health and code enforcement. Under MGL c. 111 §122, boards of health may order abatement of nuisances, including overgrown vegetation. The State Sanitary Code 105 CMR 410.600 requires rental property owners to maintain exterior grounds free of overgrowth. Most Norfolk County towns have local property maintenance bylaws. Common invasive species of concern include Japanese knotweed, multiflora rose, phragmites, and Asiatic bittersweet. Vacant lots receive priority enforcement. If owner fails to abate, the municipality may clear and bill the owner, with the charge becoming a lien under MGL c. 111 §125.
No county enforcement. Municipal notice to abate. City clears and charges owner ($200-$1,000+). Unpaid costs become property lien per MGL c. 111 §125.
