High Weeds and Grass Program
The Department of Code Enforcement (DCE) enforces ordinances for the control of high weeds and high grass (over 12 inches high) on properties within the county. When a report is received, DCE inspects the property, and if a violation is found, a Notice of Violation is issued. |

After the deadline given in the Notice of Violation, the property is reinspected. If the property has been mowed, the violation is closed. If the property has not been mowed, it will be mowed by contractors under the direction of DCE. |

After a property has been mowed by the contractor, an invoice is sent to the owner of the property for payment of the mowing and administrative costs incurred. If the invoice is not paid, the City will file a lien against the property for collection with the next property tax payment. |
