🌿 SUMMER REMINDER: HIGH WEEDS ORDINANCE 🌿

As we move into the summer months, property owners are reminded to keep lawns and lots properly maintained to help protect public health, safety, and neighborhood appearance.

DEFINITION OF WEEDS:
For enforcement purposes, “weeds” are defined as any of the following:

(a) Brush and woody vines shall be classified as weeds;
(b) Weeds and grasses which may attain such large growth as to become, when dry, a fire menace to adjacent improved property;
(c) Weeds which bear or may bear seeds of a downy or wingy nature;
(d) Weeds which are located in an area which harbors rats, insects, animals, reptiles, or any other creature which either may or does constitute a menace to health, public safety, or welfare;
(e) Weeds and grasses on or about residential property which, because of their height, have a blighting influence on the neighborhood. Any such weeds and indigenous grasses shall be presumed to be blighting if they exceed 12 inches in height.

Please ensure your property remains in compliance by regularly mowing and maintaining vegetation throughout the season.

Failure to comply may result in notices, abatement, and associated costs being assessed to the property owner.

Thank you for helping keep our community safe, clean, and attractive!
