How do I report overgrown grass or weeds?

Overgrown Grass and Weeds

Overview

City ordinance requires property owners to maintain their yards and lots to prevent overgrown grass and weeds. Keeping vegetation within allowed limits helps maintain neighborhood appearance, safety, and property values.

Ordinance Requirements

Grass and weeds are considered a violation of City ordinance when they exceed the following heights:

  • More than six (6) inches on a developed lot

  • More than twelve (12) inches on an undeveloped lot

Property owners are responsible for maintaining all areas of their property, including the space from the property line to the curb, free of tall weeds, grass, brush, or other unsightly vegetation.

Reporting a Concern

Suspected violations may be reported online using the Report an Issue tool.
