On February 21, 2008, the Herriman City Council adopted a Landscaping Ordinance. This ordinance affects all existing homes in the City as well as all new residential construction. This ordinance requires all residential dwellings to have landscaping installed and maintained in their front yards, including any area in front of the dwelling, and side yard to the back line of the dwelling, including parkstrips (see Landscaping Diagrams).
Landscaping shall include the treatment of the ground surface with live materials such as grass, trees, shrubs, etc. A combination of xeriscape plantings and decorative surfacing such as bark chips, crushed stones, etc. shall also meet landscaping requirements. Landscaping shall be groomed, watered and visually free from insects and weeds. Landscaping shall be maintained to minimize property damage and public safety hazards, and may not obstruct street lighting, sidewalks and traffic sight distance requirements.
For the actual ordinance, see Landscaping Ordinance.
CONTRACTORS:
For all new residential construction, landscaping must be installed prior to occupancy. If weather (at the discretion of the City) does not permit for landscaping to be installed prior to occupancy, the City will require a cash bond to be posted in order to receive occupancy approval. Landscaping must then be installed within 6 months or by April 1st (whichever comes first). This bond is refunded upon final inspection approval.
For more information on bond amounts and requirements, see Landscaping Ordinance Notice.
For other notices to Contractors, see Single Family Dwelling.
