Will County enforces property maintenance standards in unincorporated areas through the Land Use Department's Administration and Enforcement Division. Grass and weeds must be maintained to county standards. Illinois Noxious Weed Act (505 ILCS 100) requires destruction of noxious weeds. The division investigates complaints related to county codes.
Will County code compliance enforces maximum vegetation height, typically 8 to 10 inches. Overgrown grass and weeds constitute a nuisance. Property owners receive notice with compliance deadline (usually 5 to 10 days). If not corrected, the city may mow and charge costs via property lien. Vacant lots receive special attention. Spring and summer growing seasons require regular maintenance. The IL Noxious Weed Act (505 ILCS 100) requires destruction of designated noxious weeds including Canada thistle.
