Limits are set by your city. Bountiful makes it unlawful to let weeds, grass or similar growth exceed six inches on improved property. Layton caps weeds at 12 inches. Ignoring a notice leads to city abatement billed to the owner.
Davis County has no single grass-height rule; each city sets and enforces its own. Bountiful Land Use Code 14-14-110 states it is unlawful to allow weeds, grass or similar growth to exceed six inches in height on improved property. Layton City Code 6.24.070 requires weeds not exceed 12 inches and defines weeds to include fire-hazard and noxious vegetation. Enforcement is complaint-based, beginning with a written notice and a short compliance window before the city cuts the growth and charges the owner.
After notice, cities may abate overgrown weeds and grass and bill the property owner; repeat violations can escalate to formal citation and additional fees.
