1. Who should I contact for a grass/weeds complaint?

The Township of Grand Blanc has adopted a policy that all complaints must be in writing for the township to investigate. Please fill out the Complaint Referral Form.

2. My neighbor has a car that's been sitting up on blocks for months, is that allowed?

Any vehicle stored on a property must be operable, have a current license and be parked on a paved surface.

3. I filed a complaint awhile back and nothing's happened. Why hasn't Code Enforcement responded yet?

Once a complaint has been received, the Township sends the property owner a letter informing them of the violation and informs them that they have 10 business days to resolve the issue. If the property owner does not take care of the violation, the Township may issue the property owner a court appearance ticket. Once a ticket is issued a judge will determine if an order will be issued to correct the problem.

4. If I cannot fix a problem within the time allotted on the notice, will Code Enforcement work with me?

In certain circumstances the Township will work with property owners to set a reasonable time frame for violations to be resolved if the work will take longer than ten days.

5. My neighbor's grass is a foot long. Don't they have to mow it!?

The lawn grass/weeds cannot be longer than 8 inches. Once a complaint has been received, the Township sends the property owner a letter informing them of the violation and informs them that they have 10 business days to resolve the issue. If the property owner does not mow the grass the Township’s contractor will mow the property at a cost of $350 per acre.
