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.
