High Point enforces a maximum vegetation height of 12 inches on residential properties. Overgrown grass, weeds, and vegetation are considered public nuisances subject to enforcement action.
The city's public nuisance ordinance requires property owners to maintain grass and weeds below 12 inches. Code Enforcement conducts inspections and responds to complaints. Property owners receive written notice with a deadline to comply. If the owner fails to mow, the city may abate the nuisance and bill the owner for the cost.
Owners receive notices and face city mowing at their expense. Liens may be placed on properties for unpaid costs.
