Westminster enforces maximum grass and weed height. Overgrown properties subject to code compliance action and city abatement at owner’s expense.
Westminster code compliance enforces maximum vegetation height (typically 6 to 12 inches). Overgrown grass and weeds constitute a nuisance. 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. HOAs often have stricter landscape maintenance requirements. Colorado’s semi-arid climate means grass growth varies by season and irrigation.
Notice to abate. City mowing at owner’s expense ($200 to $500+). Administrative fees. Property lien.
