High Grass/Weeds
Ordinance Requirements
City Ordinances require that weeds and grass be kept below 12 inches in height, and that trimmings are not allowed to accumulate in any gutter, street, sidewalk, alley or any other public or private property.
The owner or occupant of the property is required to maintain the property from the street in the front to the middle of the alley in the back (or the property line.) This includes the front, back and side yards, the right-of-way (the area between the sidewalk and the curb,) and the alley and easement (the area behind the property.)
