Overland Park requires property owners to maintain grass and weeds at a reasonable height. Overgrown vegetation exceeding 12 inches is considered a nuisance. The city may mow and bill the owner if violations are not corrected.
Overland Park's property maintenance code requires owners to keep grass and weeds trimmed to a reasonable height. Vegetation exceeding approximately 12 inches is considered a nuisance and subject to enforcement. Property owners who receive a violation notice have a set timeframe to mow. If the owner does not comply, the city contracts mowing services and bills the cost to the property owner. Repeated violations within a season may result in the city mowing without additional notice. Vacant lots are held to the same standards.
Failure to maintain vegetation results in city-contracted mowing at the owner's expense. Costs may be assessed as liens on the property.
