REPORT HIGH GRASS OR WEEDS
In order to take pride in our neighborhoods, Madison Township takes an aggressive approach to good property maintenance.
By the authority of the State of Ohio and Franklin County, Madison Township is proactive to issues of high grass or weeds. High grass and weeds are no longer defined by a height, but according to the Franklin County Board of Health, "All premises, exterior property and yards shall be maintained free from excessive grass, weeds and/or vegetative growth so as not to adversely affect public health."
Once a report is made, a specific procedure is followed according to the ORC. All reports are investigated and photos are taken by an employee of Madison Township.
To report high grass or weeds, call: 614 836-5308.
