Duluth's weed/nuisance vegetation ordinance requires removal of rank vegetation and noxious weeds. Enforced alongside grass-height rule; 12-inch maximum.
Duluth Code property maintenance provisions treat weeds, rank vegetation, and overgrown grass as a public nuisance when over 12 inches or causing harborage for rodents/vermin. Noxious weeds like poison ivy encroaching on public sidewalks must be controlled. Kudzu and invasive vines spreading off-property can be abated. Code enforcement issues notice of violation; continued violation triggers contracted abatement and lien against the property.
Typical cycle: warning → 7-10 day compliance period → abatement + lien + administrative fee. Fines $100-$500; repeat violations may reach $1,000.
