Grass and weed limits are set by your city or township. The City of Holland prohibits grass, weeds, or vegetation taller than eight inches within 200 feet of a street centerline, plus listed noxious weeds.
Ottawa County has no countywide grass-height rule; it is a city or township nuisance ordinance. Holland's nuisance code (Chapter 19) bans grass, weeds, or vegetation over eight inches within 200 feet of a public-street centerline and on the right-of-way between road and sidewalk, and separately bars noxious weeds such as Canada thistle, ragweed, poison ivy and poison sumac. Holland posts a door notice giving 48 hours to mow. Townships set their own height thresholds, so confirm locally.
After a posted 48-hour notice, Holland mows the property and charges the owner, or issues a municipal civil infraction.
