I think my neighbor's grass is too tall. What are the criteria for the Weeds and Grass Ordinance?
- The Ordinance states 12" tall, which is about mid-calf
- Rurally zoned neighborhoods/areas/lots do not have to be mowed
- The majority of the yard has to be 12" tall, not just clumps or portions
My neighbor has not trimmed or edged their property.
- The City does not have an Ordinance that addresses this
- Please contact your HOA
My neighbors have been having loud parties.
- Please call the College Station Police Department at 979-764-3600
My trash was not picked up, and I got a Door tag/Hang tag/Notice/Citation.
- Doortags/Hangtags are not Citations; Citations are hand-delivered and need to be signed for
- Please call Public Works at 979-764-3690
My neighbor has a dog that barks/gets out all of the time.
- Please call Animal Control at 979-764-3600
My neighbor's backyard is overgrown/has stuff all over.
- Generally, we are not allowed to look into people's backyards if there is a privacy fence; everyone has a certain level of an expectation of privacy
There is a car parked in the street that has not moved for months, and the registration has expired.
- Please call the Police Department at 979-764-3600
My neighbor's car, which is in the driveway, has not moved in months.
- Is the registration current, and does it appear to be operable (i.e. tires aired, etc.)?
- If NO, then it is a violation
- If YES, then it is not a violation
I got a Door tag/Hang tag/Notice/Citation for House Numbers, but my numbers are painted on the curb.
- Doortags/Hangtags are not Citations; Citations are hand-delivered and need to be signed for
- Numbers painted on the curb do not meet the Ordinance. They have to be:
- On the house, or
- On the mailbox
My neighbor has litter in their yard.
- One beer can, cup or newspaper is not litter
My neighbor has a couch/refrigerator/recliner/dinette set out in their yard.
I am not sure if something is a violation. Who do I call?
My neighbor parks his car in the yard all the time.
- Parking one tire in the grass is not a violation. The rule of thumb is that if more than half of the vehicle is parked on the grass, it is a violation. Please call us at 979-764-6363
