INDIANAPOLIS — The Department of Code Enforcement (DCE) wants to remind citizens that the City’s high weeds and grass program will begin once again this season.
In the coming weeks the City of Indianapolis will dispatch inspectors to visit neighborhoods that have had the highest rates of weeds and grass violations. DCE inspectors and mowing vendors will assess various areas around the City in order to encourage property owners to properly maintain properties and lots, which can also help in minimizing blight in neighborhoods. Vegetation over 12 inches in height is considered high weeds and grass.
Property owners who receive a notice of violation have five days from the date the notice is mailed to mow their overgrown property. If a property owner fails to mow the property, the City will send a mowing vendor to mow the property and will bill the property owner for the service at a rate of at least $353 per lot.
Residents may report a high weeds and grass violation by calling the Mayor’s Action Center (MAC) at 327-4MAC, by logging on to RequestIndy at www.indy.gov/requestindy or by using the RequestIndy Mobile Application.
