Springdale, AR Landscaping Rules: Grass Height Limits (2026)

Springdale's high-grass and weed ordinance is enforced by the City's Neighborhood Services division (https://www.springdalear.gov/page/neighborhood-services, 479-750-8114), with provisions appearing in the nuisance and environmental health portions of the Springdale Code of Ordinances at https://library.municode.com/ar/springdale. Springdale, in Washington and Benton counties in northwest Arkansas (2020 population 84,161), uses the standard Arkansas municipal abatement framework. The legal foundation is A.C.A. §14-54-901 et seq., which empowers municipalities (cities of the first and second class) to order owners of lots within the city limits to cut weeds, remove garbage, eliminate stagnant pools, and otherwise abate unsightly or unsanitary conditions on seven days' written notice. After notice and inspection by Neighborhood Services, the City may contract for the cutting if the owner fails to comply, and the cost is recovered as a lien attached to the property and collected with the property's tax bill through the Washington County (or Benton County) tax collector. Springdale's enforcement scope reaches lots, alleys, easements, and rights-of-way adjoining the property under standard Arkansas first-class-city authority. Owners and occupants are jointly responsible, and tenants assume statutory liability when the lease assigns yard maintenance.
