Tall grass and weeds on your property can only grow 8 inches according to Township ordinance. This standard also applies to all areas of a vacant or non-improved property within 25 feet of a road or a sidewalk. Property owners of unmown lawns over 8 inches may receive a notice of violation from the Code Enforcement Officer. The notice includes a date for re-inspection of the property. If the property is not in compliance upon re-inspection, the Township will have the lawn mowed and the property owner will be billed for the cost plus an administrative fee.
