- How do Washington cities and counties regulate overgrown weeds, accumulations of trash and litter, and other unsightly conditions on private property?
Regulation of unkept lots and property containing overgrown weeds, trash, and litter is generally accomplished through enforcement of nuisance ordinances. See Web page for a listing of statutes on the Authority to Regulate and Abate NuisancesThere is a limit on how far a city or county may go in regard to regulations in this area. It is an open question in this state at this time whether our courts would uphold beautification ordinances or appearance codes if the regulations are based purely upon aesthetic grounds.
