Marana Town Code Chapter 8-3 requires owners of vacant lots to keep them free of weeds, debris, and accumulated refuse. The town may abate nuisance conditions and assess the cost against the property if the owner fails to comply after notice.
Under Marana Town Code Chapter 8-3, owners of vacant or unimproved lots must maintain the property in a condition that does not create a public nuisance. This includes removing accumulated trash, abandoned vehicles, discarded furniture, and weeds or vegetation that exceed 12 inches in height or pose a fire hazard. The Town Code Enforcement division issues a written notice giving the owner a specified compliance period, typically 15 to 30 days. If the owner fails to abate the condition, the Town may arrange cleanup and place a lien on the property to recover costs. Pima County also enforces nuisance vegetation standards under its Noxious Weed ordinance for properties in unincorporated transition areas near Marana boundaries.
Written notice with 15-30 day compliance period. Town abatement and property lien for costs if uncorrected. Civil penalty up to $250 per day for ongoing violations.
