The City of Shelby weed ordinance requires that all vegetation on your  property be kept below 6 inches! IF vegetation is in excess of this, you're in VIOLATION of the ordinance. This ordinance is AVAILABLE on the City of Shelby website (www.shelby.com). Unsightly weeds & vegetation are a continued problem here in our town, & Shelby City Council wants to eliminate this annual problem. Trees, hedges & bushes at intersections must be no higher than 2 & a half feet within 30 feet of the street corner. The City of Shelby weed ordinance  provides for crews to mow weeds on your property if you fail to comply with the weed ordinance. This summer would be a good time to own a goat or two!
