Frisco requires owners of vacant lots to maintain grass and weeds under 12 inches tall and keep lots free of trash, debris, and hazardous conditions. Code Services mows non-compliant lots after notice and assesses the cost plus administrative fees as a lien against the property.
Notice is typically posted on the property and mailed to the owner of record. Failure to abate within 10 days triggers city mowing. Frisco experiences rapid development in master-planned communities, and lot-mowing enforcement is active in partially-built subdivisions. Contact Frisco at (972) 292-5000 for enforcement.
Abatement costs billed to owner plus $150-$300 administrative fee; liens filed in Collin or Denton County records.
