Bergen County grass height rules are set by each of its 70 municipalities. Typical maximum is 10 inches. Property maintenance enforcement is active given Bergen's density.
Bergen County has no countywide grass or weed ordinance; each municipality enforces property maintenance codes under N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.12 authority. Typical maximum grass or weed height across Bergen is 10 inches (Paramus, Hackensack, Teaneck, Ridgewood, Fair Lawn) with some boroughs at 8 inches (Ridgewood, Glen Rock) or 12 inches (rural Mahwah, Upper Saddle River). Property owners receive a notice to abate with 10-30 day compliance windows. If not corrected, the municipality sends contractors to mow at the owner's expense, with costs recovered via a property lien under N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.14. Bergen County's density and high property values make enforcement unusually active — Hackensack, Teaneck, and Bergenfield code enforcement issues hundreds of notices per season.
