The City of New Orleans can cut the grass on private property when the owners fail to do so.



Why? Lot maintenance has a role to play in:

• improving quality of life for all residents


• creating safer, healthier neighborhoods


• protecting property values


• stimulating economic development

How? The City aims to make the most of the limited funds it has to cut a lot of grass that needs cutting by:

• Targeting tipping point neighborhoods and lots near occupied properties, schools, corners and investments


• Recovering costs by billing the property owners for the cuts


• Building public trust to secure additional funding in the future by more quickly responding to resident’s requests

What can you do?

• Find out the status of a property with high grass in your neighborhood on this map


• Report a property with high grass by calling 311 or submitting a 311 request online


• Apply to "mow to own" a property next to yours that has been adjudicated by the City


• Host a neighborhood clean-up by contacting the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Engagement


• Pay your bill if the City cut your grass
