The Weed Ordinance prohibits grass or weeds from exceeding 12 inches in height over 10% of the property tract, excluding the portion of the property where permanent structures exist, on lots that are 40,000 square feet or smaller. Properties larger than 40,000 square feet and within a platted subdivision with grass and weeds over 12 inches in height, over more than 10% of the property tract, excluding the portion of the property where permanent structures exist, are also in violation of the ordinance. Property owners who violate this ordinance will be notified and given an opportunity to mow/trim the grass. If the property owner fails to do so, the ordinance allows the county to hire a firm to mow/trim the grass.
