CITY OF ASHLAND Ashland week abatement deadline is Wednesday Comment By Local report DailyTidings.com By Local report Posted Jun. 14, 2016 at 6:18 PM By Local report Posted Jun. 14, 2016 at 6:18 PM » Social News Residents and owners of properties in the city of Ashland are required by the city weed abatement ordinance to cut and maintain weeds and grass to no more than four inches no later than Wednesday, June 15. Ashland Fire & Rescue says cutting weeds and grass short creates the first line of defense from fire and keeping it short throughout the fire season will slow a fire if one should start on or spread to a homeowner's property. If you own or rent property in the City of Ashland, here’s what needs to be done: • Cut weeds and grass to no more than 4 inches in height no later than June 15. • Maintain it at 4 inches throughout fire season. • The rule applies to your property, park rows and other right-of-way areas abutting your property. This includes space between the sidewalk and street along the edge of your property. • If your property is greater than one acre, you can create buffers of 15 feet around the property and driveways and 30 feet around homes and other buildings. Failure to cut weeds and grass by June 15 may result in citations issued to landowners and/or tenants plus a bill for abatement and administrative costs. Complaints about non-compliant properties will be accepted in writing using the form on the city website beginning June 16. Residents are encouraged to maintain the watering of plants within 10 feet of homes in order to prevent the vegetation from dying and becoming a fire hazard. For more information on weed abatement in the city of Ashland, go to www.ashland.or.us ./weedabatement. During the 2015 weed abatement season, properties throughout the city were inspected. There were 196 properties found to be out of compliance and were issued notices. Two citations were issued to property owners for failing to abate the weeds, and the city abated the weeds and billed the property owner.
