Beaumont requires vacant lot owners to maintain their property including regular mowing, weed control, trash removal, and securing the site against trespass.
Beaumont mandates that vacant lot owners maintain their property to prevent blight and safety hazards. Requirements include regular mowing and weed control (grass must not exceed height limits, typically 8 to 12 inches), removal of trash and debris, securing abandoned structures, and preventing illegal dumping. Vacant lots near occupied properties must not harbor vermin or create fire hazards. Some jurisdictions require vacant property registration with annual fees. The municipality may mow and abate conditions on non-compliant lots and charge costs to the property owner.
Written notice with compliance deadline. Municipal mowing/cleanup at owner expense ($200 to $500+ per occurrence). Liens placed on property for unpaid abatement costs.
