Grass and weeds in North Richland Hills may not exceed 12 inches. Code Enforcement issues 10-day abatement notices before the city mows and liens the property.
North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances Chapter 66 caps grass, weeds, and rank vegetation at 12 inches on all improved and vacant lots. This applies citywide including single-family neighborhoods like Smithfield, Home Town, and Richland Heights, as well as commercial and industrial properties along Loop 820. Code Enforcement officers inspect on complaint and drive-by basis, and violations trigger a 10-day written notice to mow or clear. Owners who fail to comply face city-contracted mowing under Texas Local Government Code 342.004, with charges of the mowing cost plus an administrative fee around 200 dollars placed as a lien on the property. Rural residential parcels larger than one acre get limited exceptions for pasture areas more than 30 feet from any structure. HOAs in Home Town and Thornbridge may have stricter rules such as 6 inches. Call Code Enforcement at (817) 427-6650 to report or request inspection.
