High Weed and Grass
Per City of Bryan Code Enforcement
Grass or weeds higher than 12 inches are deemed a public nuisance.
Owners of properties in violation will receive a notice allowing 7 days to bring the property into compliance. The City may send a contractor to mow the property on the 11th day after issuance of notice to the property owner.
The City’s initial notification of violation is valid for 1 year from the date of issuance and allows the City to mow the property without a second notification to the owner for a repeat violation in that year.
The property owner is responsible for paying all costs associated with this service plus an administration fee of $100. A citation will be issued to the property owner each time the City is required to correct the violation. A lien will be placed against the property for any bill not paid within 30 days.
