Summit County OH sets no single grass-height number countywide. In unincorporated townships, trustees may abate overgrown vegetation they declare a nuisance under ORC 505.87; cities like Akron enforce their own height limits (often 8-10 inches).
Ohio law does not fix a statewide grass-height inch limit. For unincorporated land in Summit County townships (Copley, Bath, Boston, Springfield), the board of township trustees may abate overgrown vegetation once it deems the condition a nuisance, after at least seven days' notice to the owner (ORC 505.87). Inside Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow and other municipalities, each city's property-maintenance code sets the mowing threshold and enforces it directly. Check your municipality or township for the exact height that triggers a violation.
After notice, the township/city may mow and bill the owner; unpaid costs become a tax lien on the property under ORC 505.87.
