What are the regulations and enforcement actions for weed control?
Section 4-1-3 of the City Code: City Code requires that residents control the growth of weeds and grass on their property. Weeds and grass in excess of 8 inches in height, on any lot less than one acre that has a building on it or an empty lot that abuts a lot containing a building, are a public nuisance and are prohibited.


After giving the owner or occupant of property in violation of this ordinance seven days advance written notice of noncompliance, the City can cut, or hire someone else to cut, the grass and weeds and assess the cost against the property, in accordance with state statutes.
