The provisions of IC 36-7-10.1-1 through 36-7-10.1-5 give cities the authority to regulate weeds. The legislative body of a municipality may by ordinance require the owners of real property located within a municipality to cut and/or remove weeds and other rank vegetation growing on the property. As used in this chapter, “weeds and other rank vegetation” does not include agricultural crops, such as hay and pasture.
