Montgomery County OH has no countywide native-plant mandate. Five Rivers MetroParks promotes native species and prohibits removing park plants. On private land, your city sets any tall-grass or landscaping standard that natural gardens must meet.
Montgomery County does not mandate or ban native-plant landscaping; that is a local matter. Five Rivers MetroParks actively restores native trees, shrubs, and prairie and, under its rules, prohibits damaging or removing park plants. On private property, a native or pollinator garden is generally allowed, but it must still comply with your municipality's tall-grass, noxious-weed, and property-maintenance standards, which are enforced under ORC 731.51 (municipalities) and ORC 505.87 (townships). Some Ohio cities exempt intentional native/managed natural landscapes from height limits, so confirm your city's ordinance before converting a lawn.
None for compliant native gardens. Enforcement arises only if a planting is cited as noxious weeds or rank vegetation under local code, triggering the cut-and-bill process.
