Nuisances on Premises, Removal of Weeds, Mowing, Etc., and Clutter, Division 2. Removal of Weeds, Mowing, Etc.

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.
