CODE ENFORCEMENT GRASS AND WEEDS

Livingston's City code applies to all grass, weeds, bushes and trees on private property that are allowed to overgrow onto any public right-of-way, including planting strips, streets, sidewalks, and alleys.

Tall weeds and grass not only contribute to blighted conditions in neighborhoods, but they can also harbor rodents, snakes, and other pests and block visibility for drivers. Properties with overgrown vegetation are deemed a public nuisance and a safety hazard as they can make grass fires more dangerous for firefighters and families.
