Weed Program

To avoid the Weed Inspector be your own detector. Now that you know, watch the grass as it grows, you will be fine when you keep it less than nine. (inches)
The City of Fort Wayne’s Neighborhood Code Weed Program is designed to protect the public’s safety, health, and welfare and to enhance the city by making it unlawful to allow an environmental public nuisance to exist.
Weed season will begin approximately May 6, 2013; due to the recent snow, however, that date may shift.

A property owner is in violation of the weed ordinance if the grass/weeds have attained a height of nine inches or more or other noxious vegetation exists. (i.e. poison ivy)
If a weed violation notice shows up on your lawn, be sure to mow or remove the vegetation within five days of the post. If the posting is disregarded and the weeds are not cut, mown, or otherwise removed within the five day period, NCE Weed Contractors will mow and the actual cost plus administrative fees will be charged to the property owner.
