Littleton's code compliance enforces property maintenance standards including grass and weed height limits. The city's Landscape Design Criteria Manual (authorized by ULUC) sets maintenance standards. Overgrown weeds and grass constitute a nuisance violation subject to abatement.
Littleton's code compliance division enforces property maintenance and landscaping standards. The city's Landscape Design Criteria Manual, authorized by the ULUC, establishes requirements for landscape installation and ongoing maintenance including watering, weeding, pruning, mowing, and replacement of dead plants. Weeds and unmaintained grass that exceed the city's height limits constitute a nuisance. Property owners receive a courtesy notice before formal enforcement action begins. If the owner fails to abate the nuisance, the city may perform the work and bill the property owner. Code compliance operates on a complaint-driven basis for residential properties.
Overgrown weeds/grass: courtesy notice, then citation. Failure to abate: city performs work and bills property owner. Repeat offenders face escalating fines.
