Applies to improved and unimproved residential lots within platted subdivisions. Agricultural-zoned parcels and undeveloped acreage outside platted subdivisions exempt. Trash, debris, abandoned vehicles, and tires must be removed. Notice of Violation issued by Code Enforcement (321-633-2086) with 10-day compliance period. Non-compliance triggers county abatement (mowing contractor) at owner expense, typically $150 to $500 per occurrence depending on lot size. Costs become a lien against the property under FL §162.09.

Vacant structure registration separate under §22-82.
10-day notice to correct. County abatement: $150 to $500+ per mowing. Lien placed on property via Special Magistrate. Repeat violations: $500 per day. Fire hazard during dry season: expedited enforcement.
