Bolingbrook enforces property maintenance standards through Code Enforcement requiring lawns and vegetation to be maintained. Grass exceeding typical village standards (generally 8–10 inches in Illinois municipalities) constitutes a nuisance. Violations are handled by Code Enforcement at 630-226-8760.
Bolingbrook's property maintenance code requires residential and vacant lots in city limits to maintain grass and vegetation at or below 10-12 inches in height. Properties that exceed this threshold are subject to code enforcement action. After a complaint or inspection, the property owner receives a written notice with a 10-14 day compliance deadline. If the property is not mowed by the deadline, Bolingbrook may contract a mowing crew and bill the owner for the cost plus administrative fees. The humid continental climate affects growing seasons and enforcement patterns — peak enforcement typically runs from spring through fall.
First violation receives a notice to mow within 10-14 days. Failure to comply: county mows and bills $200–$800 plus $150 admin fee. Repeat violations within 12 months face $100–$500 fines.
