Tijeras has no specific grass height ordinance. The village's rural mountain character means natural vegetation is common. General nuisance and fire hazard provisions apply to overgrown vegetation that creates safety risks.
Tijeras code compliance enforces maximum vegetation height (typically 8 to 12 inches). Overgrown grass and weeds constitute a nuisance under NMSA §3-53-1. Property owners receive notice with compliance deadline (usually 10 days). If not corrected, the city may mow and charge costs via property lien. Vacant lots receive special attention. New Mexico’s arid climate means many properties have native or xeriscape landscaping rather than traditional grass lawns.
Notice to abate. City mowing at owner’s expense ($150 to $500+). Administrative fees. Property lien.
