Macomb County sets no maximum grass height. In Michigan, weed and overgrown-grass limits are set and abated by each city or township under its noxious-weed and property-maintenance ordinances.
There is no county grass-height or noxious-weed limit. Under Michigan law each city, village, and township adopts its own weed ordinance, commonly capping lawn height (often at 8 to 12 inches) and authorizing the municipality to mow noncompliant parcels and charge the owner. Warren, Sterling Heights, Clinton Township, and other Macomb communities each publish their own thresholds and abatement-and-lien procedures. The county Health Department is not involved in ordinary tall-grass complaints. Check your city or township weed ordinance for the exact height limit and notice process.
Exceeding the local grass-height limit results in a municipal notice and, if uncorrected, city or township mowing with the cost billed to the owner or placed as a lien. The county issues no weed or grass citations.
