OVERGROWTH REMOVAL NOTICE TO CITY OF WARREN PROPERTY OWNERS, OPERATORS, AND OCCUPANTS

Pursuant to Warren Code of Ordinances, § 21-46 et seq (Noxious Weeds and Rubbish) and MCL 247.61 et seq (Act 359 of 1941), an occupant, operator, or owner is responsible for preventing noxious weeds and overgrowth on a property that they own, occupy, or operate. Overgrowth includes grass over six inches and any vegetation that encroaches on public easements or causes other public safety concerns.

The City or its agent may remove any overgrowth and/or noxious weeds that have not been removed by the first day of May. For each time removal is required, the City will charge the owner with the actual removal cost and a $100 administrative fee. The City may collect unpaid assessments as provided by law, including but not limited to adding the assessment to the property taxes.

In addition, the owner, operator, and/or occupant is responsible for a civil infraction punishable up to $1000 in fines and costs. The Noxious Weed and Rubbish Ordinance is available on the City of Warren’s website or at the Clerk’s Office during regular business hours.
