Fountain enforces grass and weed height limits under nuisance provisions administered by Neighborhood Services/Code Compliance. Typical enforcement targets overgrown grass, weeds, or vegetation that constitutes a public nuisance or creates a blighted appearance.
Fountain's Neighborhood Services Code Compliance Division enforces standards for grass, weeds, debris, and property maintenance that constitute nuisances. Overgrown grass and weeds — commonly 12 inches or higher in Colorado municipalities — are subject to citation and abatement. The city may mow and charge the property owner for abatement costs if the owner fails to comply after notice. Contact Code Compliance (719-322-2000) for current enforcement standards.
Notice to abate issued; failure to comply results in city abatement at owner's cost plus fines.
