Akron's nuisance compliance code requires grass and weeds to be kept below 8 inches. The Nuisance Compliance Division enforces property maintenance standards including overgrown vegetation. Violations result in notices and potential city abatement.
Under Akron's property maintenance code, grass and weeds on residential properties must not exceed 8 inches in height. The Nuisance Compliance Division, part of the Neighborhood Assistance department, conducts inspections and responds to complaints. Property owners receive a written violation notice with a compliance deadline (typically 7-10 days). If not corrected, the city may mow the property and bill the owner for the cost plus administrative fees.
First violation results in a written notice. If not corrected, the city abates the condition and bills the property owner. Repeated violations may result in fines and liens on the property.
