Florence Residents Advised To Clean Yards

With all the rain & sunny days lately in Florence, the biggest item to bloom, is weeds. When weeds mature & begin to dry-out they pose an extreme fire danger to you & your neighbors. The overgrowth of weeds also contributes to unsanitary & safety issues concerning rodents, reptiles, & possibly disease. Also, poorly maintained properties have a negative affect on property values in the neighborhood.

It's also a violation of Town Code to allow weeds, grass, or uncultivated plant growth, over 6 inches in height on your property. This is a year round issue, & all exterior property & premises need to be free from weeds, trash & rubbish. So do your part & pitch in to improve the safety & appearance of Florence. This is a courtesy message from the Town to ask all property owners & occupants to please keep the weeds cut, the rubbish & trash cleaned up.

If you have any questions concerning the overgrowth of weeds or the accumulation of litter in your neighborhood, contact Carroll, Senior Building Inspector and Code Enforcement Officer, at the Town of Florence at 868-7556.
