With grass lawns growing rapidly from the hot and wet weather recently, local law enforcement is warning property owners to make sure to mow their grass regularly. Algoma Police Chief Randy Remiker says homeowners can be cited not maintaining their lawns. He says if the grass gets longer than eight inches, property owners can be held accountable.
According to the Algoma ordinance on the books, a property owner has three days to comply with the order to mow the lot. If mowing is done by the city and is not paid, the amount will be placed on the tax roll as a special charge.
