Peachtree City code enforcement gives residents 48 hours to remedy high‑grass violations
Summary
A Peachtree City code enforcement officer said the city issues one notice per year for high grass or weeds; after 48 hours residents must mow or risk citation to Peachtree City Municipal Court. The ordinance sets an 8‑inch height limit.
Tim, a Peachtree City code enforcement officer, said residents who receive a high‑grass or weed violation have 48 hours to mow or face a citation to Peachtree City Municipal Court.
“High grass and weeds is a violation of the city ordinance,” Tim said. He told residents, “If you receive a violation of high grass and weeds, you have 48 hours to mow your lawn and get it taken care of.”
The statement lays out the city’s enforcement steps and the reason the notice matters: the ordinance requires grass and weeds to be kept at 8 inches or below, and the city is required to give one notice of violation per year before pursuing escalation, Tim said. “We must give you 1 notice of violation per year, but the ordinance says we only have to give you 1. After that, we could potentially issue you a citation and take you to Peachtree City Municipal Court,” he said.
Tim said code officers sometimes use radios to measure height but that crews generally make a visual determination. The transcript of his remarks also lists a contact number for code enforcement as recorded in the meeting record: 77048757312.
This was an informational enforcement briefing rather than a formal ordinance change or a council vote; no motions or votes were recorded in the transcript. Residents with questions were told to contact Peachtree City Code Enforcement for clarification or to report concerns.
