Please Weed Up!Go to post: Please Weed Up!
With the advent of the monsoon season (finally!), our rock yards and sidewalks have started to sprout little green things - weeds! They really look pretty ugly, and certainly detract from property values and appeal and, believe it or not, it is YOUR legal responsibility to get rid of them - whether they're in your yard, along your sidewalk, or in the space between your property and the street/curb. This includes ALL sides of your property, even the sides with cement walls. Don't just take our word for it - here are the official city code ordinances that say so:
§ 9-8-4 GROWTH OR ACCUMULATION.
It shall be unlawful for any owner of any occupied or unoccupied lot or tract of land within the city to permit or maintain on any such lot or tract of land, including the area located between the property line and the middle of the alley adjacent to the property, and the area located between the property line and the curb, the area of any curbs or sidewalks located on the property, and the area located ten feet outside the property line where there is no curb, any growth of weeds whose height, width or spread is greater than four inches, or any accumulation of weeds.
('74 Code, § 6-15-4) (Ord. 89-1967; Am. Ord. 40-1968; Am. Ord. 32-1976; Am. Ord. 4-1992; Am. Ord. 57-2005)§ 9-8-5 DUTY OF OWNER, LESSEE, OR OCCUPANT.
It shall be the duty of any owner of any occupied or unoccupied lot or tract of land to cut the weeds and remove the cuttings or any accumulation of weeds to be removed as often as necessary in order to comply with the provisions set out in § 9-8-4.
('74 Code, § 6-15-5) (Ord. 89-1967; Am. Ord. 32-1976; Am. Ord. 4-1992)Please - help us all out, and
WEED YOUR PROPERTY!
