It depends of the jurisdiction (city, town, or county) but it's an escalating scale based on things such as
>How bad is the grass?
Is it barely out of code or has this shit gone full jungle?
>How often have they been cited?
First call out or has this been a game of ping pong?
>Is the home occupied? Is there an owner? Do we even know who is responsible?
Renters are usually considered responsible in my jurisdiction if it's a house
Generally, it's your annoying faggot neighbors who hate you claiming your grass is wildly out of code when it's not. In that case, if your code enforcer is doing their job correctly, they will be by for an inspection and write you as clean. I've not met a code enforcer who will get out of their vehicle and actually inspect rather than eyeball it. If it's out of code, there is a renter/owner, and they refuse it'll follow this
>Citation becomes a fine
>Fine gets bigger
>City eventually tires of your niggatry and will hire out a mower to do it in which you are civilly sued for the cost
Threaten anyone in the process, especially the code enforcer, and the bored townie cops will happily SWAT you. Code enforcers and cops are best friends.
