Code Enforcement serves as the first line of defense for maintaining safe and healthy housing and neighborhoods. Code Enforcement ensures that properties meet minimum requirements for property maintenance and safe construction.

Harrisburg relies primarily on complaints to investigate and determine violations. A violation may be issued for things such as:

  • Abandoned property; including household items and appliances not stored or kept within a building
  • Abandoned, inoperable, or unlicensed vehicles and trailers
  • Noxious weeds and/or grasses or weeds allowed to grow to a height exceeding 8 inches.
  • Animals at-large
  • Improper parking; including blocking sidewalks and parking anywhere on a residential lot except a paved parking pad.

 

 

Vegetation Nuisance

Please notify the city of properties within the city limits of Harrisburg that have grass that has grown 8 inches or taller and/or “state classified noxious weeds” which includes: Canada thistle, Russian knapweed, hoary cress, purple loosestrife, perennial sow thistle, leafy spurge and salt cedar. For photos of these weeds, click here: Noxious Weeds

 

Dandelions are not considered noxious by the state or county and therefore cannot warrant an inspection unless there are also other factors in the yard like grass over 8" tall or thistles.
