Leander, TX Public Health Rules: Rodent Control (2026)

Leander's sanitary nuisance article bars owners, occupants, lessees, or renters from letting any lot sit covered in brush, garbage, junk, rubbish, weeds, or other unsanitary matter; the article separately defines weeds as growth liable to become a breeding place for flies, mosquitoes, or vermin. The same section requires clearing weeds and tall grass from the sidewalk strip in front of the property. City staff may inspect any lot, and if an owner fails to remedy the condition within seven days of notice, the city can do the cleanup itself and bill the owner, with the charge becoming a lien on the property.
