I’ve been having a conversation with a neighbor of mine about how our city doesn’t seem to enforce its grass length ordinance. We have a 10 inch or longer ordinance, which is quite tall. Other cities have much shorter grass ordinances, aimed at getting repeat offenders to mow their lawns.

I don’t particularly mind if someone’s grass is getting a littl shaggy, but when their grass is so long it could be harboring snakes or rats, then their rights end where mine begin. And I think I have every right to live in a place where people keep their lawns up so that pests aren’t attracted.

What is your city’s grass ordinance? Are they good about keeping with it, or do they not seem to care?
