Orland Park requires property owners to control noxious weeds and rank vegetation. The Illinois Noxious Weed Law (505 ILCS 100) requires control of state-listed weeds including Canada thistle, ragweed, and others.
Orland Park's property maintenance code requires owners to control weeds and rank vegetation, with the same 8-inch maximum height applying to weeds as to grass. The Illinois Noxious Weed Law (505 ILCS 100) lists state noxious weeds that all landowners must control, including Canada thistle, musk thistle, perennial sowthistle, marijuana, kudzu, giant ragweed, and others. The village coordinates with Cook County weed officials for enforcement of state-listed noxious weeds. Common nuisance weeds (dandelions, crabgrass, etc.) are not state-regulated but fall under village height and maintenance rules. Native plant gardens and rain gardens with managed plans are protected. Failure to control noxious weeds can result in village or county abatement at owner expense. Contact Orland Park Code Enforcement at (708) 403-6225.
Weed violations typically begin with notice and 7-10 days to cure. Failure to comply triggers village or county cutting/treatment with charges to owner ($150-$500+ plus admin fees). State noxious weed violations may carry additional Illinois Department of Agriculture penalties.
