Maintain Your Home's Curb Appeal

Maintain the look of your yard by keeping the grass mowed below eight inches in height on private property and five inches in height in the right-of-way, which is typically the area between the curb and the sidewalk.

Keep the sidewalks and public right-of-way in front of your home in good condition and unobstructed for public use.

Be sure to place your trash and recycling curbside on the evening prior to pick-up. All empty trash cans and bins must be removed from the street by 7 p.m. on collection day.

Remember to obtain all required permits before beginning any home improvement project. For more information on required permits, call (618) 452-6218.

Periodically, check the fence surrounding your property to make sure it's in good condition.

Commercial or inoperable vehicles may not be parked in the street or on residential property.

The exterior of your home is very important. To maintain its appearance, be sure to keep the exterior paint, windows and all permanent fixtures in good repair.
