COSMOPOLIS, Wash. (AP) — The Cosmopolis City Council has passed a new law on lawns. The height limit is 8 inches.
The short grass ordinance takes effect Aug. 22. Offenders will have two weeks from receiving notice to mow. Otherwise they could be fined up to $200 a day.
If a shaggy lawn is not mowed in 30 days, the city may mow it and put a lien on the home for the cost.
KBKW reports (http://bit.ly/nxvGca ) Mayor Vickie Raines doesn’t like the cutting ordinance. She says there are times when the city’s own cemetery isn’t mowed.
