League City Section 54-33 requires owners of vacant lots to prevent accumulation of rubbish and maintain weeds below 12 inches. The city may perform abatement on non-compliant vacant properties and charge costs to the owner.
Section 54-33 applies equally to occupied and vacant properties. Owners of vacant lots must prevent the growth of weeds over 12 inches and the accumulation of rubbish, brush, or unsightly matter. The contiguous unpaved portion of the right-of-way must also be maintained. Vacant properties are frequently the subject of code enforcement complaints due to neglected maintenance. After notice and failure to comply, the city may perform abatement and assess costs against the property. League City's subtropical climate promotes rapid vegetation growth, requiring regular mowing on vacant lots, particularly during the growing season from March through November.
Fine up to $500 per offense. City abatement with cost recovery via property lien. Each day of violation constitutes a separate offense under Section 1-5.
