On residential lots (except multifamily), Galloway Township requires the property be kept free of weeds or plant growth over 10 inches. Commercial, industrial and multifamily lawns exceeding 6 inches are presumed in violation.
Chapter 267 (Property Maintenance), § 267-16, sets the residential ceiling at 10 inches for weeds/plant growth. Commercial, industrial and multifamily premises must keep landscaped and lawn areas trimmed, with grass or weeds over 6 inches presumed a violation. "Weeds" is defined as all grasses, annual plants and vegetation other than trees or shrubs, excluding cultivated flowers and gardens. Code Enforcement handles complaints and can abate overgrowth at the owner's expense if notice is ignored.
Property Maintenance Code violations are enforced by Code Enforcement; notice to abate is issued, and the Township may cut and bill the owner, plus municipal-court penalties.
