Nuisances
Tall Grass & Weeds
Property owners, lessees, and occupants are required to keep grass, weeds, and other rank vegetation trimmed below 8 inches in height. Overgrown vegetation on lots is considered a danger to public health, safety, and welfare.
Debris & Yard Waste
Yard waste, including grass clippings and leaves, as well as trash, may not be swept or deposited into streets, sidewalks, or waterways. Doing so can introduce excess nutrients into creeks and streams and may clog municipal storm drains, resulting in localized flooding.
Enforcement & Abatement
The City investigates reports of illicit discharges and unkempt properties. If a nuisance violation is found to exist, warnings or notices may be issued requiring prompt cleanup and correction of the violation.
Penalties
Failure to comply may result in the issuance of a citation requiring you to appear in court. If found guilty, you may be ordered to pay court costs and fines associated with the violation.
