    Grass Cutting (Lot Abatement/Chapter 66)

    Metadata Updated: June 14, 2025

    The City of New Orleans can cut the grass on private property when the owners fail to do so.

    Why? Lot maintenance has a role to play in:

    improving quality of life for all residents creating safer, healthier neighborhoods protecting property values stimulating economic development

    How? The City aims to make the most of the limited funds it has to cut a lot of grass that needs cutting by:

    Targeting tipping point neighborhoods and lots near occupied properties, schools, corners and investments Recovering costs by billing the property owners for the cuts Building public trust to secure additional funding in the future by more quickly responding to resident’s requests
