Noxious Vegetation

Noxious Vegetation

As summer turns into fall and the days become shorter, many changes occur in our environment. Growth slows in trees and plants, so this is a great time to get noxious vegetation under control.

"Noxious vegetation" is defined as: weeds and grass more than 12 inches high; poison oak; poison ivy; blackberry bushes that extend into a road, sidewalk or across a property line; and vegetation that impairs the visibility of motorists.

Vegetation that is growing out-of-control looks bad, decreases property values, causes fire concerns, annoys people, and unnecessarily increases the amount of pollen in the air. By keeping lawns and vacant lots mowed, you can help keep your neighborhood looking good and reduce the levels of pollen in the air, easing the discomfort of your friends and neighbors who suffer from hay fever.

Code Services thanks everyone who helps remedy noxious vegetation problems when they occur. We welcome your questions and look forward to serving you. You can contact Code Services at (503) 526-2270 or e-mail us at codeservmail@ci.beaverton.or.us.
