Yuma requires vacant lots to be maintained free of weeds, debris, and fire hazards. Code Compliance conducts approximately 1,500 inspections per fiscal year. Violations receive 30-day notice.
Vacant lots must be maintained even when undeveloped. Property owners are responsible for weed control, trash removal, and fire hazard prevention. Code Compliance sends written notice with 30 working days to correct. After two notices, cases are referred to the City Prosecutor. This vacant lots rule under Yuma's property maintenance ordinances applies to properties within Yuma city limits. For current statutory text, amendments, enforcement procedures, fines, appeal options, and any exemptions that may apply to your situation, contact Yuma code enforcement directly or consult the official Arizona municipal code library. Ordinances change periodically; always verify with local staff before relying on summary information.
Failure to maintain may result in fines and potential city abatement at owner's expense.
