Unincorporated Weld County sets no city-style lawn-mowing height (agricultural, right-to-farm land). In the City of Greeley, overgrown vegetation is a code violation: yards must be kept below 12 inches and mowed down to six inches when cited.
Weld County is largely rural and agricultural, so unincorporated properties are not held to a fixed grass height the way a city lot is; the county instead enforces the state Noxious Weed Act and its own nuisance rules. Home-rule cities set their own standard. Greeley's Clean, Safe & Beautiful property-maintenance standards require vegetation be kept low; when a property is cited, the owner must cut it to six inches. Tall dry grass can also trigger fire-nuisance and noxious-weed enforcement. Check your specific city (Greeley, Evans, Windsor) because each has its own mowing threshold.
Greeley: written notice to abate; if uncorrected the city mows and bills the owner, and unpaid costs can become a lien on the property.
