A property in my neighborhood becomes overgrown with tall weeds? Is there a way to make the owner maintain their property?
City ordinance makes it illegal to permit grass, weeds or any other vegetation to grow more than six inch. Individuals should contact the Code Enforcement Unit and provide information on the property. An Officer will inspect the property and contact the owner. The owner is given seven (7) to ten (10) days upon receipt of notice to have the property brought into compliance. However, if the owner does not abate nuisance the City’s Code Enforcement Unit will, if necessary, under a warrant hire a private contractor and/or have the Code Enforcement Abatement Crew to either abate nuisance. The City will invoice the owner of record for the work done plus administrative costs and a lien will be placed on the property.
