Great Bend Code Enforcement is noting several instances of tall weeds and grasses growing along curbs and rights-of-way, on otherwise properly maintained properties. Therefore, we would like to clarify citizen’s responsibilities regarding mowing and trimming of properties.  

City ordinance 15.70.010 states: It is unlawful for an owner, agent, lessee, tenant, or other person occupying or having charge or control of any premises to permit weeds to remain upon such premises or any area between the property lines of such premises and the centerline of any adjacent street or alley, including but not specifically limited to sidewalks, streets, alleys, easement, rights-of-way, and all other areas, public or private. 

Code Enforcement is asking citizens to please trim the weeds when mowing.  Failure to do so, constitutes a violation and may result in abatement penalties.
