Vacant lots in Fresno County must be kept free of weeds taller than 12 inches. Annual weed abatement program; uncut lots mowed at owner's expense + admin fee.
Fresno County's Weed Abatement Program (Title 15/Title 11) requires vacant lot owners to disc or mow weeds over 12 inches tall by a date set annually (typically May 1 in valley, later in foothills) to reduce wildfire and rodent hazard. Fire Warden or Code Enforcement posts notice; non-compliant parcels are mowed by county contractor; cost + admin fee (~30-50%) added to property tax bill as assessment.
Admin fee ~30-50% of abatement cost. Lien recorded if unpaid. Repeated offenders: citation + doubled admin fees.
