Orland Park's property maintenance code limits grass and weeds to 8 inches maximum height. Owners receive notice to cut, and the village may cut overgrown lots and bill the owner for costs plus administrative fees.
Orland Park's property maintenance ordinance requires that grass, weeds, and rank vegetation on residential and commercial property not exceed 8 inches in height. Code enforcement responds to complaints and routine inspections. Owners receive a notice of violation typically allowing 7-10 days to cut. If not corrected, the village may contract to cut the lot and bill the property owner for the cutting cost plus administrative fees and inspection charges, with unpaid amounts becoming a lien on the property. Native plant landscapes, prairie restorations, and naturalized areas may be permitted with prior written approval and a managed plan, but unmanaged overgrowth is not protected. Vacant lots and foreclosure properties are common targets. Contact Orland Park Code Enforcement at (708) 403-6225.
Initial violations typically warrant warnings. Continued non-compliance triggers village cutting at $150-$500 per cut plus admin fees. Repeat or chronic violations result in escalating fines and property liens.
