Ohio's noxious-weed laws apply, not a county ordinance. On municipal land, ORC 731.51 orders weeds cut within five days of written notice; on unincorporated land, townships abate under ORC 505.87. The county sets no separate weed rule.
Weed control in Hamilton County runs on statewide Ohio law. Within a municipal corporation, ORC 731.51 requires the owner to cut and destroy noxious weeds within five days after written notice from the legislative authority. On unincorporated township land, ORC 505.87 lets trustees abate nuisance vegetation after 7 days' notice. If the owner fails to act, the city or township cuts the weeds and recovers the cost. Hamilton County government itself does not run a countywide weed program for incorporated parcels; enforcement is city or township level.
If weeds are not cut after notice, the city or township cuts them and certifies the expense against the property; unpaid costs become a lien collected with taxes.
