Overgrown weeds on a vacant lot in unincorporated Williamson County are a public nuisance under Tex. Health & Safety Code §343.011(c)(4) when they grow within 300 feet of a residence or business in a neighborhood.
For vacant and undeveloped lots outside city limits, the county's 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. Agricultural land is exempt. 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–$200 fine and possible county mowing with a lien.
