City of Beeville TEXAS City Government Residents Visitors Things To Do How Do I? Beeville GIS Residents to Maintain Their Properties From Overgrown Weeds and Tall Grass The grass season is here, we like to remind the residents to mow their yards on a regular basis to keep grass from growing over 12” in height, especially with the recent rainfall we have had. The City of Beeville requires property owners to maintain all grasses and weeds to be no more than a maximum height of 12 inches, per Beeville Code of Ordinance. Chapter 22 Article II MINIMUM PROPERTY MAINTENANCE STANDARDS, Sec. 22-11. Given the rainfall we have had, the grass/weed will grow at a much faster rate. The City establishes the minimum community standards, so everyone can and shall maintain their yards to keep the City attractive. Your responsibility extends to the edge of the pavement in the front and/or your backyard, including utility easements that are on your property. “Easement” is a strip of land on your property that the utility companies have been granted to access and make necessary repairs to their lines. This includes overhead power line, or underground water and wastewater line, gas line and other forms of utility. It is your property, other than utility can access to their equipment to ensure all utility services are not interrupted. Therefore, you will mow this area as you do with the rest of your property. This is particularly critical during the emergency situations during the power outage after a thunderstorm and a hurricane to allow the utility company repair crew a clear and easy access to make the necessary repair to restore the electricity. The City of Beeville encourages residents to report lots with high grass or weeds, along with other violations such as abandoned vehicles; junk, trash & debris; and illegal dumping, to 361- 358-4641, ext. 243. Unmaintained properties that the City mows for violations will be billed to the property owner and, if unpaid, liens will be placed on the properties for failing to maintain the community standards. Please do your part to keep Beeville beautiful.
