City reminds residents of property maintenance requirements during growing season
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – As the growing season begins, the City of Charlottesville is reminding residents and property owners of maintenance requirements outlined in Charlottesville City Code § 5-149.
Under City Code, grass and weeds may not exceed eighteen (18) inches in height. Property owners are also required to ensure that trees, shrubs, and other vegetation do not obstruct streets or sidewalks, helping maintain safe and accessible public spaces for all.
These standards support the City’s ongoing commitment to a clean, safe, and accessible community.
Enforcement is proactive. If a property is found to be in violation, the owner will receive a Notice of Violation by mail. The notice will include a reinspection date, which is ten (10) days from the date of mailing.
Residents with questions or who need assistance understanding these requirements are encouraged to contact the Property Maintenance team within the Neighborhood Development Services department at 434-970-3182. Staff will return calls as soon as possible if they are unavailable at the time of contact.
