League City prohibits property blight including accumulated rubbish, weeds over 12 inches, pest infestations, and unsanitary conditions under Chapter 54. The city may abate violations and charge costs to property owners after notice.
Chapter 54 (Health and Sanitation) addresses property blight through multiple sections. Section 54-33(a) prohibits accumulation of rubbish, brush, or unsightly matter. Section 54-33(b) prohibits weeds over 12 inches. Section 54-32 requires structures to be free from pest infestations including bees, bats, and rodents. The owner is responsible for safe extermination. League City code enforcement responds to complaints and may initiate proactive inspections. After providing notice and a compliance deadline, the city may perform abatement work and assess costs against the property through a lien. The city's subtropical climate means vegetation growth and pest issues require year-round maintenance.
Fine up to $500 per offense. City abatement costs assessed to property. Lien placed for unpaid abatement costs. Each day of violation is separate offense.
