The Local Rule

What Naples Actually Requires

The threshold depends on where the property sits. Inside City of Naples limits, grass and vegetation over 12 inches can be cited. On Collier County Estates-zoned property, it becomes a violation when overgrowth exceeds 18 inches and sits within 30 feet of a residential structure.

Enforcement here runs through the City of Naples Code Compliance / Collier County Code Enforcement. The first practical step is confirming which authority issued your notice, because the standard and the correction window are not the same everywhere in Southwest Florida.

What Happens If It Is Not Corrected

  • Two different authorities, two different standards — the City of Naples Code Compliance Division inside city limits, Collier County Code Enforcement in unincorporated areas.
  • Under Florida law (CS/SB 60, effective July 2021), a person reporting a violation must give their name and address before an investigation can begin — anonymous complaints no longer trigger enforcement.
  • Naples holds the highest presentation standard in the region, so overgrowth tends to draw complaints faster here than elsewhere.

Naples · Code Compliance FAQ

Common Questions in Naples

Is the limit 12 inches or 18 inches?

It depends on the property. Inside City of Naples limits, vegetation over 12 inches can be cited. On Collier County Estates-zoned property the threshold is 18 inches, and only within 30 feet of a residential structure. Check which applies before assuming you are compliant.

Can someone report my property anonymously?

No. Since CS/SB 60 took effect in July 2021, a complainant must provide their name and address to the local government before an investigation can proceed.

Who do I contact in Collier County?

Collier County Code Enforcement at (239) 252-2440 for unincorporated areas. The City of Naples Code Compliance Division handles property inside city limits.

Do you work on gated community and association property in Naples?

Yes. Association common areas and estate properties are a core part of our Naples work, alongside compliance corrections.
