Recent rains are helping the grass to flourish while making it difficult to schedule mowing. We understand this and are working with property owners to allow for extended timelines to come into compliance.

We urge you to address your yard as quickly as possible and assist a neighbor with theirs if necessary. Maintaining your grass height helps to eliminate unwanted insects, rodents, snakes and other wildlife which can be detrimental to your property and health.

Tullahoma Municipal Code 13-105(1):
Weeds and other vegetation. It shall be unlawful for any person or other entity owning, leasing, occupying or having control of property in the city, regardless of whether the property is vacant or contains any form of structure, to permit the growth upon such property of weeds, grass, brush and all other rank or noxious vegetation to a height greater than twelve (12) inches when such growth is within two hundred (200) feet of other improved and/or occupied property or is within two hundred (200) feet of the right of way of any street, thoroughfare, or highway, within the city.
