In addi­tion to being pub­lished in the Chron­i­cle-Tri­bune on April 18 and April 29, 2026, the notices were also shared through the City’s web­site, social media chan­nels, mobile app, and with local news media to pro­vide prop­er­ty own­ers ample time to make arrange­ments for main­tain­ing their properties.

As out­lined in those notices, the City may mow prop­er­ties where grass exceeds nine inch­es in height with­out pro­vid­ing addi­tion­al notice, and the asso­ci­at­ed costs may be assessed to the prop­er­ty owner.

The City is com­mit­ted to main­tain­ing a clean, attrac­tive, and wel­com­ing com­mu­ni­ty for res­i­dents and vis­i­tors alike. We appre­ci­ate everyone’s coop­er­a­tion and con­tin­ued efforts to help keep Mar­i­on look­ing its best.
