Montgomery County OH has no countywide grass-height limit. Your city, village, or township sets and enforces the maximum (commonly 8-12 inches). Ohio law lets townships abate tall grass and vegetation as a nuisance.
Grass and lawn-height caps in Montgomery County are municipal or township rules, not a single county code. Cities like Dayton, Kettering, Huber Heights and Centerville each set a maximum height (often 8-12 inches) and issue mow notices. On unincorporated land, Ohio Revised Code 505.87 empowers township trustees to abate, control, or remove overgrown vegetation they determine is a nuisance after written notice. Check your specific municipality's property-maintenance code or your township for the exact height threshold and mow deadline.
After notice and failure to mow, the township or city cuts the grass and bills the owner; unpaid costs become a tax lien on the property. First notice is 7 days.
