CLEAN & CLEAR: Weed Cleanup
Weed Cleanup Reminder for Property Owners
The City of Selma is reminding property owners to help keep our community clean and safe by removing overgrown weeds and grass from their property. Regular maintenance not only improves neighborhood appearance but also helps reduce fire hazards and protect surrounding homes. Weed cleanup is an important responsibility for all property owners throughout the year.
Under Selma Municipal Code Chapter 9-3-13, weeds, overgrown grass, and other combustible vegetation are considered a public nuisance and must be removed and maintained accordingly.
