Full Breakdown
Section 92.01 makes weeds or grass averaging more than 8 inches a nuisance, and it is an offense for any owner, occupant, or controller of real property, including the adjacent parkway, to let growth exceed that height. Tracts of two or more acres under common ownership are excepted where the growth stays at least 100 feet from any street and from any structure on neighboring property. Under Section 92.02 the city gives the owner notice to abate through the Section 92.13 process; Section 92.03 lets the city prosecute for each day the violation continues after a 10-day written notice or citation, punishable under Section 92.16.
Violations & Fines
Each day of noncompliance after a 10-day written notice or citation is a separate offense prosecutable under Section 92.16, and the city may abate the overgrowth itself and charge the owner for the cost.
