Indiana Code Title 36. Local Government § 36-7-10.1-3

Sec. 3. (a) The legislative body of a municipality or county may by ordinance require the owners of real property located within the municipality or the unincorporated area of the county to cut and 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.

(b) An ordinance adopted under subsection (a) must specify the following:

(c) An ordinance adopted under subsection (a) must provide that a notice sent to the property owner must be sent by first class mail or an equivalent service permitted under IC 1-1-7-1, to:

at the last address of the owner for the property as indicated in the records of the county auditor on the date of the notice.

(d) If an initial notice of the violation of an ordinance adopted under this section was provided by certified mail, first class mail, or equivalent service under subsection (c), a continuous abatement notice may be posted at the property at the time of abatement instead of by certified mail, first class mail, or equivalent service as required under subsection (c). A continuous abatement notice serves as notice to the real property owner that each subsequent violation during the same year for which the initial notice of the violation was provided may be abated by the municipality or county, or its contractors.
