Code Enforcement Board Meeting · 2026-06-18 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed update to City Code Chapter 6, Article III, Section 6-901 regarding property maintenance standards. The proposed change focuses on requirements for cutting weeds, grass, and underbrush to a height not exceeding twelve inches, and removing trash, debris, filth, and junked appliances. For properties over five acres, the requirement applies to a 100-foot strip around the perimeter facing public streets, easements, or adjacent occupied property, with the entire property needing clearance of trash and debris. This matter is currently under review by the Code Enforcement Board. The potential work involves site clearing, grading, and general property maintenance, particularly for larger parcels. Local contractors, landscapers, and waste removal services could find opportunities as these regulations are finalized and enforced.
