Town of Wytheville Mowing Regulations
The Town of Wytheville would like to remind property owners of their obligation to the Town’s Mowing Ordinance in the Town Code: Chapter 12. Solid Waste Collection and Disposal, Article VI. Nuisances on Premises, Removal of Weeds, Mowing, Etc., and Clutter, Division 2. Removal of Weeds, Mowing, Etc.
The ordinance was amended to remove the language of only having to mow three (3) times per season beginning April 1 through September 30, and, in Chapter 12. Section 12-92, of the Town Code states, “It shall be unlawful for the owners of property to permit grass, weeds and other foreign growth to exceed the prescribed height of 12 inches, except: (1) if a property is located in an A-1 Agricultural Zone that has been set aside for agricultural operations as defined in Chapter 12. Section 12-76 and used for the production of hay, feed crops or similar agricultural uses; (2) if a property owner has applied and been approved for a mowing exemption as outlined in Chapter 12. Section 12-94; or, (3) if a property owner has applied and been approved for using the property for nontraditional landscaping purposes as defined in Section 12-93.” The Code of the Town of Wytheville, Virginia, is available online for viewing at https://library.municode.com/va/wytheville.
The Town would like to remind citizens that it is unlawful to dispose of grass and other vegetative debris on the sidewalks and streets of the town. The Town of Wytheville appreciates the efforts of its citizens in maintaining yards and outdoor spaces.
