Peoria requires vacant lot owners to maintain properties free of weeds, debris, and hazards. The city may abate at owner's expense with property lien. Peoria's rapid growth means many parcels transition between vacant and developed, requiring ongoing maintenance monitoring.
Vacant lots in Peoria must be maintained free of overgrown weeds, accumulated debris, and hazardous conditions. Peoria's rapid northwest Valley growth means many parcels sit vacant during development transitions. Property owners must maintain these parcels. Fencing may be required to prevent dumping and unauthorized access. The city's Code Compliance monitors vacant lots and responds to complaints. After notice, owners have a period to comply. If uncorrected, the city may abate and lien the property.
Vacant lot violations result in notice, fines, and potential city abatement with property lien.
