NOTICE TO MILAN RESIDENTS/ 2024 Growing Season

The Village Clerk may provide for the removal of weeds and/or grass over TEN (10) INCHES in height on private property within the Village when the owner of such property, after reasonable notice, refuses or neglects to cut said weeds or grass. Reasonable notice shall consist of one (1) publication of this section in a newspaper of general circulation within the Village in addition to the following.  When the property owner has been notified of a violation of this section during the previous growing season, the property owner shall be notified by letter at the beginning of the current season of the property owner's obligation to provide for the cutting of weeds or grass on the property. The notice shall constitute reasonable notice for the entire growing season. When the property owner has not been notified of a violation of this section during the previous growing season, the property owner shall be provided, by letter, a ten-day time period in which to arrange for the removal of weeds and grass currently in violation of this section. This letter will constitute reasonable notice for the remainder of the growing season. If subsequent violations are observed during the same growth season, the grass and weeds will be cut immediately and the owner will be billed for the cost thereof.  Further penalties shall apply per Chapter 4 of Title 5 and Section 1-4 of the Milan Municipal Code.
