Anderson treats grass over 12 inches and rank vegetation as a nuisance. The Environmental Nuisance Control Division inspects, notices, and abates overgrown lots under authority of Indiana Code 36-7-10.1.
Anderson's weed ordinance targets grass in excess of 12 inches and rank vegetation on any parcel in the city. The Environmental Nuisance Control Division conducts inspections to confirm violations, then issues letters to property owners with a time limit to correct, and court summonses when notices are neglected. Indiana Code 36-7-10.1 authorizes municipalities to require owners to cut weeds and rank vegetation, to abate the nuisance if they don't, and to recover the cost as a lien. Vacant lots and rental properties are the most common targets. Owners must comply with a violation notice or face abatement and cost recovery.
Non-compliant owners are subject to abatement costs, court costs, administration costs, and/or fines; the city may issue a court summons and place a lien for unpaid abatement.
