Katy prohibits grass and weeds growing taller than nine inches on any improved or unimproved lot within the city limits.
Under the City of Katy nuisance code, all rank or uncultivated vegetation taller than nine inches is classified as a weed nuisance. Owners and occupants must mow and maintain their property, including parkways and alleys abutting the lot. After notice from code enforcement, failure to cut overgrown vegetation can result in the city contracting the work and assessing a lien against the property, plus citation fines.
