There’s still quite a bit of summertime to enjoy before fall officially begins on September 23rd and having a rainy season has allowed Laramie to transform into magnificent verdant landscape. As beautiful as this all may be, it can create difficulties for City service staff to complete their work and maintain alleyways as the growth spills over and blocks their vehicles, sometimes causing damage. As a reminder, property owners/managers and tenants are required to keep the alleys adjacent to their property clear of debris, offensive growth (e.g., long grass, weeds, and any other vegetation), as well as obstructions like rubbish, automobiles, and other items. To ask a question or report overgrowth/obstructions in an alleyway, contact the City of Laramie Code Enforcement Inspector at (307) 721-5285. (Ref. Municipal Code 12.16.040 and 8.28.030)
All trees or bushes in the alley must be trimmed even with the property line with no overhanging branches lower than 13 feet (reference 12.16)
Any other vegetation (weeds or grass) in the alley must be trimmed to a length of six inches or less. This includes all vegetation adjacent to the property line and half way into the alley (reference 8.28).
