Grass Cutting (Lot Abatement/Chapter 66)
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
