Thank you for taking the time to keep an eye on your neighborhood. We understand that certain plants may not be everyone's favorite and can feel unwelcome. Our current enforcement priorities focus on broader property conditions--such as yards that are unsafe, significantly overgrown or otherwise affecting neighborhood Health. If the property as a whole appears overgrown or in violation, please let us know and we can assess it under our existing ordinances. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us focus our limited bandwidth on the issues that most affect the quality of life in our community. While plant-by-plant concerns are important to some residents, they often have less impact on the broader community than other cases and are best resolved directly between neighbors whenever possible.

Dear Constituent:
Thank you for submitting information to us via uReport. We value your input and hope that we will be able to address your questions and concerns. HAND neighborhood compliance officers will inspect the property and determine if the weeds, grass or plants are in violation of the Bloomington Municipal Code 6.06.070 (a). In the event of a violation, the neighborhood compliance officer will issue a Notice of Violation (NOV) to the property owners via first class mail and by placing a copy of the notice of violation on the property. The original Notice of Violation may be a warning or may include fines with a graduated scale from $50.00 - $150.00, and will be issued in accordance with Bloomington Municipal Code 6.06.070 (a). If the property is a rental property and it is the tenants' responsibility to maintain the lawn, the landlord must provide a copy of the signed lease to HAND during the initial seven days following the issuance of the NOV, otherwise the Landlord will remain responsible for paying the fine. After the Notice of Violation is issued, the property owner and/or tenant has seven (7) days to bring the property into compliance. If the property is not brought into compliance within the initial seven (7) days, the inspector may go to daily tickets.
Please be mindful of this process while we work with your neighbors to resolve this issue.
Thank you,
HAND staff
