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.
Chapter 16.18 covers a broad range of blight conditions: junk in yards, inoperable vehicles, dilapidated structures, debris-laden roofs, broken windows, peeling paint that detracts from neighborhood appearance, and accumulations of dead vegetation. Code Enforcement (916-874-6444) operates a complaint-driven process. Initial notice typically gives 10-15 days to comply; failure triggers administrative citation and possible County abatement with a lien.
Administrative citation under SCC Title 1, escalating from $100 to $500 per offense. Abatement liens can exceed several thousand dollars for severely blighted properties.
