Is This a Code Violation?
Not only can high grass/weeds over 12" in height harbor rodents, snakes and mosquitos, block visibility for drivers, and look unsightly, but they can also be a fire hazard and are in violation of Rowlett Code of Ordinances, Chapter 78-121, Subsection 302.4.
High grass/weeds violations receive an annual notice, meaning if the violation occurs again within one year of the notice of violation, the city may use a contractor to abate the violation and any cost incurred for such service shall be paid by the property owner. More info...
