Tall Grass & Weeds? Get It Mowed!

Grass/Weed height limit is 12"

I attended a Snellville Commerce Club meeting this afternoon, and Chief of Police Roy Whitehead asked everyone present to let their friends and neighbors know that it's now time to get their grass mowed and weeds down to stay in compliance with code to keep Snellville looking nice.

Not-So-Subtle-Hint: I had the sense that we can expect a little bit of a focus on this issue soon. So if your lawn mower's not working, get it fixed (I used Gwinnett Mower Repair recently & they did a good job), or line up someone to mow your lawn for you so you can stay in compliance.


Zoning Ordinance for Residential & Business:
Premises and exterior property which contain a habitable space or a business shall be maintained free from grass, weeds or uncultivated vegetation in excess of 12inches in height.
Exceptions: 1. Forest

(Do you live in a forest? I didn't think so. I don't either. I have a lot of work to do myself!)
