Owners of vacant lots must control weeds, debris, and nuisances. Sandy may abate unmaintained lots and place a lien for costs against the property.
Vacant lots in Sandy fall under the same nuisance and weed abatement rules as developed property. Weeds over 10 inches, accumulated trash, and standing water that breeds mosquitoes are prohibited. The city mails abatement notices to the owner of record; if not cleared, city crews or contractors perform the work and bill the owner. Unpaid charges become a property tax assessment lien.
