Missouri City property owners will now be required to maintain grass and weeds along the public right of way.
The details
The updated ordinance—which was approved by City Council on March 2—adds to the previous requirements to remove garbage, debris and rubbish as well as maintaining trees and vegetation in rights of way, said Daniele Stewart, parks and recreation assistance director.
The public right of way includes publicly owned property or areas subject to public easement adjacent to a lot or tract, which is generally between the property line and the back curb or edge of the street pavement, according to the city's website.
