This department is responsible for all aspects of inspection and enforcement of the 2006 International Property Maintenance Code.  This code requires certain minimum property and building maintenance standards, including the height of weeds, grass and other vegetation.  Effective March 4, 2009, the Board of Aldermen adopted a standard maximum height of seven (7) inches for vegetation in all zoning classifications, except agriculture.  If a violation is suspected of any of these requirements, please call (816) 866-2054.  An inspector will view the site, and determine if compliance with the code is met.
