Overgrown Vacant Lot

Code Enforcement Services addresses vacant properties, those with no structures, which have overgrown vegetation in excess of 12" and/or have litter in public view on the property. The City may address the concern by issuing a notice or proceed with the process to cut and remove the overgrowth or debris.  There are notification exceptions for vacant properties near a school, over 48" and those that are on an annual notice list with previous violations. Once a report is submitted, the department will investigate within 2 working days. After the initial inspection, the City is required to provide property owners 7 days to address the concern. The City will work diligently to get the property into compliance within 45 working days.
