Shenandoah has adopted the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code which provides authority to address overgrown grass, weeds, and vegetation on properties. The IPMC typically sets standards requiring grass and weeds to be maintained at reasonable heights to prevent blight and vector breeding. Shenandoah code enforcement officers can cite properties for neglected vegetation. Contact the city at 281-298-5522 for specific height standards and violation thresholds. As a primarily commercial city, vacant lot maintenance is particularly enforced.
