Jenks enforces vegetation height limits through its Code Enforcement division. The height limit follows Oklahoma state law (11 O.S. §22-111) at 12 inches. Violations can be reported via the Nuisance and Zoning Complaint Form available on the city website. Repeat violations within 6 months may be abated at the owner's expense.
Jenks code compliance enforces maximum vegetation height (typically 12 inches). Overgrown grass and weeds constitute a nuisance. Property owners receive notice with compliance deadline (usually 10 days). If not corrected, the city may mow and charge costs via property lien. Vacant lots receive special attention. Oklahoma’s growing season extends from April through October, requiring regular mowing. HOAs often have stricter landscape maintenance requirements.
