The Waupaca Code of Ordinances requires property owners in the City to keep up their lots by controlling and cutting noxious weeds and high, uncut grass. Noxious weeds in our area typically are Canadian Thissel, Leafy Spurge and Field Bindweed (Creeping Jenny). All grass over 12” in length must be cut.
The City Public Works and Building Departments are charged with enforcing this ordinance. Failure to maintain weeds and uncut grass may result in the City enforcing this ordinance. The owner will be billed based on our costs, plus an additional administrative charge. If the bill is not paid in a timely manner the charge will be placed on the tax bill as a lien against the property. Further cuttings and billing will proceed to enforce the ordinance throughout the summer. Please do your part in helping us keep our City looking great.
