Sacramento County Code Chapter 16.18 (Neighborhood Nuisance Code) declares as nuisance any property with overgrown vegetation, exterior trash, debris, junk, or graffiti not regularly removed, as well as conditions that violate the Building, Plumbing, Electrical, Mechanical, Housing, or Zoning Codes.
Properties containing exterior trash, debris, junk, or graffiti not regularly removed are subject to code enforcement. The accumulation of weeds, trees, debris or other vegetation that is overgrown onto a public right-of-way at least twelve inches, or is completely dead, over twelve inches in height, and covers more than fifty percent of the front or side yard visible from any street is a violation.

Initial notice typically gives 10-15 days to comply; failure triggers administrative citation and possible County abatement with a lien.
