Englewood Chapter 129 prohibits accumulation of overgrown brush, grass, and weeds on any property within the City, with code enforcement empowered to compel cutting.
Under Chapter 129 of the Englewood City Code, every property owner must keep lots free of unsightly accumulation of brush, weeds, and tall grass. The Code Enforcement Division (Property Maintenance/Housing) investigates complaints and issues notices of violation. If owners fail to comply, the City may abate the nuisance and assess the cost as a lien against the property. Sidewalks abutting the property must also be kept free of grass and weeds under Englewood's sidewalk maintenance article.
Letting grass, weeds, or brush grow to nuisance levels, or ignoring a notice from Englewood Code Enforcement to cut and remove the growth.
