Oklahoma County enforces a 12-inch maximum grass height via Oklahoma City §27-61 and county nuisance code. 10-day notice then city abatement. Growing season runs April to October.
Oklahoma City Municipal Code §27-61 caps grass and weeds at 12 inches in residential and commercial zones; violations constitute a nuisance. Code enforcement issues a written notice with a 10-day correction window. If unresolved, OKC mows and charges the property owner through a special assessment lien per §27-64. Edmond Code §22-17 uses the same 12-inch cap; Midwest City §30-54 mirrors it. Oklahoma County unincorporated areas enforce the County Nuisance Ordinance through the Health Department. The growing season from April through October typically requires weekly mowing during peak summer growth (June-July after spring rains). Vacant lots and foreclosed properties are priority enforcement targets. HOAs commonly set stricter 4 to 6 inch maximums. Droughts common in western Oklahoma County may reduce compliance urgency.
Notice to abate within 10 days. City mowing: $200 to $750 per service (OKC §27-64). Administrative fee $100. Property lien for unpaid costs.
