Odessa enforces a maximum grass and weed height of 12 inches on residential properties. Overgrown lots are subject to Code Enforcement action, and the city may mow the property and bill the owner.
Grass, weeds, and vegetation on residential properties must be maintained at a height not exceeding 12 inches. Code Enforcement conducts inspections and responds to complaints. Owners receive a notice to mow within a specified time frame. If the owner fails to comply, the city may contract mowing and place a lien on the property for the cost.
Violations result in notices, city-contracted mowing at the owner's expense, and liens placed on the property.
