Reduction can be completed by cutting or removing flammable or potentially flammable vegetation as close to the ground as is reasonably practical. If flammable vegetation is within the adjacent right of way, it is the property owner’s responsibility to remove the flammable vegetation.
Any property within the City is required to remove all potentially flammable vegetation on the property and to maintain grass and weeds at a height of no more than 6 inches (during Summer Season beginning May 15th each year). Please CLICK HERE to view the Noxious Vegetation Ordinance (ORD #925).
