Tall grass has to be cut down after July 1

The Kalispell City Planning Office reminds residents that after July 1 each year it is the duty of all owners or occupants of any property in the city to trim all grass over 8 inches in height and remove all weeds from their property. 

The purpose of the ordinance is to prevent the spread of wildfire as grass and weeds dry, as well as limit the spread of noxious weeds.

Although the city will make every effort to work with individual property owners,  if you are contacted by the Planning Office about weeds and grasses  and you fail to comply with the ordinance, the case may be turned over to the city attorney for formal action.
