As Town residents, we all share the responsibility to maintain our properties to keep the Town beautiful. Below are some frequent questions and ways to address problem areas.
What is considered high grass?
Grass or weeds in excess of 24 inches tall are not permitted. Rodents and pests often use high grass as a place to live and feed. Please help protect the health and safety of your neighborhood by keeping your grass mowed.

What is the best way to store items outdoors?
- Store items in the side and rear yards only.
- Make sure outdoor storage items are screened from view of the street by placing items behind fences or inside storage buildings.
- Outdoor storage includes boats and trailers, so the same guidelines apply to these items, as well.

Are junk vehicles allowed?
- A junk vehicle does not have a current license tag, is partially dismantled or wrecked, or cannot move on its own.
- Each property may have one junk vehicle in the rear yard that is concealed from view.
- If a property has more than one junk vehicle, the additional junk vehicles must be in a garage.

What if I have questions, complaints, or concerns?
If you have any questions or complaints regarding these issues or other planning and zoning issues please contact the Planning Department at 704-896-2461. We will do our best to answer your questions, address your concerns, and assist you in any way that we can. Please remember that many neighborhoods have their own subdivision covenants to regulate these issues. The Land Development Code and Code of Ordinances regulations supercede these covenants when the Town Code is more restrictive. If your covenants are more restrictive than the Town Code, your covenants supercede Town Code - however, this is a civil matter and enforced by your Home Owners Asssociation (HOA) or other legal means. The Town does not enforce or have a copy of subdivision covenants and restrictions.
