Horace enforces grass and weed height limits typically at 8 to 12 inches through property maintenance ordinances. Unmaintained lots are subject to city mowing and lien placement.
Horace requires property owners to maintain grass and vegetation below maximum height limits, typically 8 to 12 inches. NDCC §40-05-01 authorizes municipal property maintenance enforcement. Violation notices give 7 to 10 days to mow before the city contracts mowing at the owner's expense. Costs are assessed against the property as a special assessment or lien. Vacant lots and foreclosed properties are frequent targets. Prairie-style or native grass landscaping may be permitted with prior approval. North Dakota's short growing season concentrates enforcement to May through October.
Notice to mow within 7 to 10 days. City mowing cost assessment of $150 to $400 per occurrence. Repeated violations may result in property liens and additional fines.
