Reedley, CA Landscaping Rules: Grass Height Limits (2026)

Reedley Municipal Code Section 4-2-4 (Weeds, Vegetation and Rubbish) requires all weeds and grasses to be removed from parkways, lots, and all private property on or before April 15 of each year by the property owner. This deadline coincides with the Reedley Fire Department's annual weed abatement program. Due to weed regrowth throughout fire season, abatement must be maintained year-round and may require removal on a frequent basis. Under Section 10-16-4 (Real Property Maintenance Standards and Unlawful Conditions), all landscaping must be maintained in good condition to present a healthy, neat, and orderly appearance so as not to detract from the general area. This includes maintaining abutting rights-of-way, swales, and canal banks. Rubbish, brush, weeds, broken glass, stumps, roots, obnoxious growths, filth, garbage, trash, and debris are prohibited on any premises. Dead or dying trees, limbs, or other natural growth that constitute a fire hazard or health or safety hazard must be removed and replaced. The Reedley Fire Department conducts an annual proactive weed abatement program for all vacant lots in the city.
