Pascagoula enforces a 12-inch grass height limit with active code enforcement as part of ongoing neighborhood revitalization. Properties near the downtown core along Delmas Avenue and in older residential areas receive priority enforcement attention.
Pascagoula maintains property standards through local nuisance abatement ordinances authorized by MS Code Ann. §21-19-11. Maximum grass height is typically 12 inches, with some municipalities setting the limit at 8 to 10 inches. Code enforcement responds to complaints and conducts periodic inspections. After a written violation notice, property owners have 7 to 14 days to bring the property into compliance. If the owner fails to comply, Pascagoula may contract mowing and bill the property owner. Liens may be placed on properties for unpaid abatement costs. Mississippi's warm, humid climate produces rapid grass growth requiring regular maintenance from March through November. Vacant and abandoned properties are subject to the same standards and face more frequent enforcement.
Notice: 7 to 14 day compliance period. City mowing costs: $150 to $400 billed to owner. Unpaid costs result in property lien. Repeat violations may incur direct fines of $100 to $250.
