Frequent Violations Received as Complaints

Removal of uncut weeds or grass and other unsightly articles: All property owners within the city are required to cut all unsightly weeds and grass, and remove stagnant pools of water or abate any other unsanitary/unsightly item, place or condition which might become a breeding place for mosquitoes, flies, and germs harmful to the health of the community.

Storage of abandoned/wrecked/inoperable vehicles: The City of Benton’s municipal code, as amended, regulates open storage, parking, keeping or leaving of certain subject items (boats, motor vehicles, and trailers of any sort including farm implements) and major portions thereof regardless of whether currently registered. Under no circumstances may any such item be left on public property, whether attended or not, for more than seven (7) consecutive days unless within a building or unless held in connection with a licensed business operation in compliance with city zoning.
