Dublin Code Chapter 660 limits grass and weeds to 8 inches maximum height on residential properties. Violations trigger notice, city mowing, and cost assessment against the property.
Under Dublin's property maintenance code (Chapter 660) and state authority in ORC 731.51 and 715.261, grass exceeding 8 inches is declared a nuisance. Code enforcement mails or posts a notice giving 7 days to cut. Non-compliance results in city contractors mowing the property and billing the owner for the mowing cost plus a significant administrative fee (commonly 150 to 300 dollars minimum). Unpaid charges are certified to the Franklin or Delaware County auditor as a tax lien.
Abatement cost plus administrative fees, typically 200 dollars or more per occurrence. Repeat offenders may be charged with minor misdemeanor.
