Code Violations in florida weed and grass
In Florida, are weed and grass code violation citations a good indication that the property is vacant?
It could be. It could also mean a distressed home owner. I think it's always worth to follow up with code violation leads. Everyone is different. I think unkept property = money. I like to see what's going on, so why not give a call.

It only means that people have ratted out their neighbors for poor upkeep of their property...
My husband use to work in landscaping and always said "you can tell a lot about a person from how hey keep their lawn." Just my 2 cent input ;)
Getting a code violation for overgrown grass is not uncommon. Now if the citation or violation has not been corrected within the time frame given and the violation goes from a simple $500 fee to $10,000 fee which is what happens in Miami Dade county then I would say you have something worth looking at.
thanks everyone! i appreciate your responses.

search the dade county code enforcement sites (there are multiple).
If you're a smooth talker you might be able to call them and find out about it (however alot of the code enforcement people are completely useless...).
If you need help searching liens,code enforcement ,etc.. PM me I can show you a few tricks since I'm an title examiner in training.
