Fayetteville, AR Property Maintenance: Property Blight (2026)

Fayetteville Code Compliance addresses conditions that create blight. Grass or weeds 8 inches or taller on an occupied lot (18 inches on a vacant lot) are overgrown. Junk means items whose primary purpose is not outdoor use, debris covers tree limbs and branches, and vehicles that cannot be driven are inoperable and regulated under City Code 164.14. Curbside items outside collection fall under unsightly and unsanitary conditions in City Code 95.01, and dilapidated or unsafe structures under City Code 173.08 may be cleaned, secured, or razed at the owner's expense. Enforcement follows an inspection with photos, a door hanger, and a Notice of Violation by certified mail before the city abates and bills the owner.
