Examples of High Weeds and Grass Violations with Corrections

Property owners are not to allow grass or weeds to exceed twelve (12) inches in height. Property owners and tenants are responsible for keeping their lawns mowed to the edge of the roadway. Only one notification per year will be made. Those in violation who fail to comply with a request to mow are subject to having their property mowed by a City-hired contractor. The owner of the lot will be billed for the City’s expenses plus a $200 administration fee. If the bill is not paid, interest-bearing liens are placed on the property.

High weeds and grass contributes to blight conditions and creates a nuisance and a possible safety hazard. It can also make grass fires more dangerous for firefighters and homeowners.
