Montgomery County has no grass height or lawn maintenance ordinance for unincorporated residential areas. No maximum grass or weed height is enforced at the county level. Subdivision HOA deed restrictions commonly impose lawn maintenance standards.
Texas counties have no authority to enact general property maintenance ordinances including grass height requirements. Montgomery County does not restrict grass or weed height on private residential lots in unincorporated areas. Lawn maintenance standards, if any, come from subdivision deed restrictions and are enforced civilly by the HOA. Overgrown vegetation that creates fire hazards may be addressed by the Fire Marshal's Office during burn ban periods. Properties with deed restrictions should consult their HOA's governing documents.
Notice to abate. City mowing at owner’s expense ($200 to $500+). Administrative fees. Property lien.
