In designated residential and community areas of unincorporated Lane County, no owner may allow noxious vegetation on the property or encroaching into an abutting public right-of-way. Vegetation blocking sidewalks, streets, or traffic-sign views is also a nuisance (Lane Code 9.057.576).
Lane Code 9.057.576 declares vegetation a nuisance where it hazards pedestrian or vehicular use, such as overhanging a pedestrian way lower than nine feet or a street lower than 15 feet, or obstructing views of traffic signs, signals, or street lights. Subsection C prohibits noxious vegetation on public or private property inside city Urban Growth Boundaries or in developed/committed Community areas or RR-5, RR-2, RR-1, or RA zones per the 1987 Rural Comprehensive Plan; no owner may allow noxious vegetation on the property or encroaching into an abutting right-of-way. Rural farm and forest land is largely exempt. Cities set their own grass-height rules within their limits.
Noxious or hazardous vegetation is a nuisance; 10-day abatement notice, then County removal with costs plus 25% overhead assessed as a property lien.
