There is an abandoned house next door to me and the grass needs to be cut, who is responsible for that?

We do apologize for the inconvenience, and, if you can please provide the residences exact address, we can further assist you.

If the property is within our Incorporated Town, then our Property Standards Authority division will seek to gain further information on the owner. Once the owner is contacted, the property must be in good standing within 30 days. However, if the property is not cleaned, then the Town is responsible for cutting the property and cleaning all trash and debris and a lien is then placed on the property.

For more information please feel free to contact us the Property Standards Department at 301-420-3000.
