Anti-Litter & Weed Ordinance
Prince George's
County's Clean Lot Code addresses violations concerning high grass and weeds over 12 inches in height, as well as trash, debris and unlicensed, wrecked, dismantled or inoperable vehicles on vacant properties not located within an incorporated area (municipality). This Ordinance allows for abatement of conditions by the County and a lien to be placed on the property for the cost of abatement, if the owner does not comply.
Issues associated with vacant lots within a municipality should be addressed to the city or town office. The Code is not applicable to land over one acre in size that does not abut other parcels less than one acre in size.
