Weeds & High Grass

Weeds and grass over 12" in height are in violation of the City of Burleson Weed Ordinance. Property owners and tenants are responsible for keeping their yards mowed to the roadway. Failure to do so may result in citations and/or liens being filed on the property should the City hire a contract mower to have the work performed. If a lien is filed against your property, contact the records department at 817-426-9660 to obtain the amount due.

Overflowing Dumpsters

Overflowing dumpsters can create an unsightly and unsanitary nuisance for neighbors and adjoining businesses. Dumpsters must have operable lids which remain shut except during the loading and unloading of dumpsters. Arrangements may need to be made for additional and/or larger dumpsters if overfilling becomes a problem.
