There is no general county grass-height ordinance. The one weed lever is Tex. Health & Safety Code §343.011(c)(4): weeds on a vacant lot in unincorporated Guadalupe County are a nuisance only when they grow within 300 feet of a residence or business in a neighborhood.
Guadalupe County has no citywide-style grass or weed-height code for unincorporated land. Its narrow weed control comes from Chapter 343. Tex. Health & Safety Code §343.011(c)(4) makes it a public nuisance to allow weeds to grow on premises in a neighborhood if they are within 300 feet of another residence or commercial establishment. Section 343.002(11) defines weeds as rank, uncultivated growth taller than 36 inches, or growth that harbors mosquitoes, rodents, or vermin at any height. Farmland and pasture qualifying for agricultural appraisal is exempt, which covers much of the county's rural acreage. Abatement follows the same notice and fine process as other nuisances.
Weeds over 36 inches within 300 feet of a residence or business are a nuisance. A 30-day notice precedes a $50 to $200 fine and possible county mowing with a lien on the property.
