Community Development will assign an inspector to check the property for violations of the grass and weed ordinance. This ordinance only requires the cutting of grass or weeds over 8 inches in height and consume an abundance of the yard. We cannot require the trimming of bushes, shrubs, bamboo, ornamentals, ivy or trees. Thank you for contacting us

If it's covering the sidewalk, can't the property owner be told to cut it?

Community Development‘s inspector checked this area and has verified that this is city property. Landscape Management (Green Team) will be taking care of this issue. Thank you for contacting the City of Huntsville.
