Grass cutting rules in Jackson

Before getting out your lawnmower this spring, it will be helpful to know grass cutting rules in the City of Jackson.

The City's mowing ordinance says residents are responsible for maintaining lawns and must keep grass and weeds below 8 inches in height. Letting grass grow beyond 8 inches can result in a fine and City contractors coming onto your property to cut the grass. The average fine for this is around $200, but it can sometimes cost more depending on how much grass and weeds have to be removed.

Please help us keep Jackson's neighborhoods looking their best by staying on top of grass cutting this spring, summer and fall.
