While property owners have a responsibility to care for their property, there are no ordinances in the County’s Codes and Ordinances that explicitly require property owners to perform maintenance on the drainage infrastructure and/or waterways on their property.
It is the responsibility of each property owner to ensure their waterway is managed in a way that reduces flooding impacts, protects property, and does not impact water quality, fish, or wildlife populations.
The County does not intervene to require or conduct elective creek maintenance activities on private property at the request of neighboring properties.
