Grass Height Limits: Kentwood vs Wyoming

Who enforces grass and weed height in Wyoming, MI?

Wyoming Building Inspections, under the Community and Economic Development Department, enforces Chapter 82 (Trees and Weeds) and the City's property-maintenance standards. The Michigan Noxious Weeds Act (MCL 247.61 to 247.72) gives the City additional authority through an appointed commissioner of noxious weeds to abate untended growth and recover the cost as a lien against the property.

What happens if I do not mow after a Wyoming notice?

After notice and an opportunity to cure, the City may cause the property to be mowed or the noxious vegetation destroyed and bill the owner. Under MCL 247.66, unpaid abatement costs become a lien against the land and are collected like a tax. Repeat unabated violations may also be charged as separate civil-infraction offenses for each day of continuing noncompliance.
