Grove City limits grass and weeds to a maximum of 8 inches in height under the property maintenance code. Longer vegetation is declared a public nuisance subject to city abatement at owner expense plus administrative fees.
Grove City Codified Ordinances Chapter 660 (Health, Safety, and Sanitation) and the Property Maintenance Code adopted by reference prohibit growth of grass, weeds, or rank vegetation exceeding 8 inches. Code Enforcement issues a notice giving the owner typically 7-10 days to cut. If not complied with, the city contracts mowing and bills the owner. Costs may be certified to the Franklin County Auditor and placed as a lien on the tax duplicate under ORC 715.261.
