Grass Height Limits: Provo vs Spanish Fork

How tall can my grass legally be in Provo?

Provo's code does not state a single lawn-height number, but overgrown or uncultivated vegetation that is hazardous, obstructs traffic, or harbors pests is a nuisance under Provo City Code 7.01.020. In the park strip, vegetation other than trees may not exceed 24 inches at maturity under 15.20.120.

Are weeds along the sidewalk a violation?

Yes. Provo City Code 7.01.020(6) declares noxious weeds along public sidewalks or the outer edge of any public street a public nuisance, and 15.20.120 requires the abutting owner to keep the parkway weed-free.

What can the City do about an overgrown lot?

After notice, the City may abate the nuisance and assess costs, pursue civil fines under Title 17, or bring a misdemeanor charge under Provo City Code 7.01.050.

How tall can my grass get before I get fined in Spanish Fork?
