🌱 Spring Yard Maintenance Reminder 🌱

🌱 Spring Yard Maintenance Reminder 🌱 Spring has arrived in Concordia! Trees are leafing out, flowers are blooming, gardens are being planted, and grass is growing quickly. The City of Concordia would like to remind residents to keep lawns and properties properly maintained throughout the season. “Overall, Concordia residents do a wonderful job caring for their properties,” said City Manager Amy Lange. “Community pride is evident across our neighborhoods, and it’s great to see the color and beauty that residents bring to their landscapes. However, each year some properties fall behind on maintenance, and vegetation can quickly become overgrown. If you are experiencing equipment issues, we encourage you to contact a local repair shop, lawn care contractor, or even ask a neighbor for assistance. Likewise, if you see someone in need, please consider lending a helping hand. Together, we can keep our community healthy and beautiful.” City staff regularly monitor neighborhoods during the spring and summer months for nuisance concerns. Nuisances may include, but are not limited to:✔ Grass and weeds over 12 inches in height✔ Inoperable vehicles✔ Excessive trash or debris✔ Stagnant water✔ Strong or unpleasant odors According to City Code Sections 13-101 through 13-103, vegetation exceeding 12 inches is considered a nuisance and may be subject to enforcement. The abatement process begins with a courtesy notice. If the issue is not resolved, City crews may perform the work at a cost of $100 per hour plus a $100 administrative fee, with expenses billed to the property owner. If you need to report a nuisance concern, please contact City Hall at (785) 243-2670. Thank you for helping keep Concordia a clean, safe, and welcoming community!
