The City of Marco Island would like to inform property owners along Collier Boulevard that they are responsible for maintaining the public right-of-way areas adjacent to their property. The City Code of Ordinances (Chapters 18 & 42, Article II) outlines the responsibilities of property owners including:
• Driveways, culverts, and sidewalks
• Sod and turf areas
• Landscaping and mulch
• Irrigation systems
Effective immediately, the City will no longer irrigate or maintain the sod, landscaping, or mulch located between the curb and the right-of-way/property line. Property owners are required to maintain these areas in a neat and orderly condition. The City will continue to irrigate and maintain the landscaping within the roadway medians along Collier Boulevard.
Please note that failure to maintain driveways, culverts, sidewalks, sod, landscaping, or irrigation between the curb and the right-of-way/property line will result in referral to Code Enforcement for corrective action. Property owners are encouraged to coordinate with their landscape maintenance contractor to ensure these areas are properly maintained. Please feel free to email publicworks@cityofmarcoisland.com with any questions. Thank you for your cooperation in helping preserve the beauty and safety of Marco Island and Collier Boulevard.
