The Mentor Code of Ordinances states that “Lawns and landscaping shall be kept from becoming overgrown and unsightly —.” And “Any growth of weeds or grass to a height greater than eight (8) inches on average” is considered rank vegetation. High grass complaints should be reported to the Code Enforcement Officers at (440) 974-5740. The Officers will check out the complaint and post the home with a notice so that the owner has 48 hours to cut the lawn. If that is not done, a notice will be sent to the Public Works Department and they will cut the lawn and the homeowner will be billed for the service.
