It is the time of year where some properties in our neighborhood get overgrown with grass and weeds. If you are able, lend a helping hand to a neighbor who may not be able to mow his or her yard.

When code enforcement is necessary, contact the Polk County Weed Commission at 286-3005, or by email at weedcommission@polkcountyiowa.gov. Generally, grass or weeds that are a foot tall prompt enforcement action by the weed commission.
