1. Why did I receive a letter from Code Enforcement for my private property?

Every citizen has responsibilities to the community in which they live. Proper maintenance of each property ensures the health, safety and welfare of the community as a whole. The City of Claremore has a property maintenance code as well as ordinances by which citizens are required to abide. These codes and ordinances apply to all private property within the city limits.

2. Where can I put my sign?

No sign is allowed to be in the city right-of-way (usually the area between the line of utility poles and the street). No sign is allowed to be affixed to a street sign, traffic signal pole or utility pole. All off-site signs are prohibited. Garage/yard sale signs can only be placed in the yard of the sale location. Real state signs can only be in the yard of the property that is for sale. Permits for business signs can be obtained through the office of Planning and Zoning.

3. How tall can my grass be before it’s out of compliance?
