Anne Arundel County Code Article 13, Title 6 prohibits grass or weeds 12 inches or higher on residential property. The Weeded Lot program runs mid-April to mid-October. Non-compliant properties are cut by county contractors and the owner is invoiced. Unpaid invoices may result in a tax lien.
Glen Burnie or county code enforcement enforces maximum vegetation height on properties. Grass, weeds, and overgrown vegetation exceeding the limit (typically 8 to 12 inches) may be declared a nuisance. County health departments often handle enforcement in Maryland. Property owners receive notice with compliance deadline. If not corrected, the county may abate at owner’s expense via property lien. Chesapeake Bay watershed considerations may influence landscaping best practices.
Notice to abate. County abatement at owner’s expense ($200 to $1,000+). Administrative fees. Property lien.
