Wellston Cracking Down On Properties Not Properly Mowed

While keeping yards and other properties mowed is not a problem for most people, it appears that others don’t always get the message. That is why the City of Wellston is making it known that property that is no adequately mowed, will result in action taken by the city.

According to Wellston’s city website www.cityofwellston.org:

The mowing deadlines for 2022 are as follows:

If the owner or person having charge of such land fails to comply to cut grass/weeds, the Director of Public Service shall cause the grass, weeds, and rank vegetation to be cut and destroyed and may employ the necessary labor to perform such task. The owner or person having charge of such land, (this would include any owner, company or lending institution) who fails to comply with the notice to cut weeds, and violates this section, shall be charged $250 per each incident for a city lot of up to 120 x 60 feet.
