What the City code says about weeds
Midwest City Ordinance No. 3380 amends Municipal Code Chapter 20, section 20-2. The weeds amendment is to property-maintenance section 302.4. The ordinance text reads:
“All premises and exterior property shall be maintained free from weeds or plant growth in excess of twelve (12) inches. All noxious weeds shall be prohibited. Weeds shall be defined as all grasses, annual plants and vegetation, other than trees or shrubs provided; however, this term shall not include cultivated flowers and gardens.”
The same section continues: “Upon failure of the owner or responsible person having charge of a property to cut and destroy weeds after service of notice of violation, he shall be subject to prosecution. Upon failure to comply with the notice of violation, any code official or contractor hired by the city shall be authorized to enter upon the property in violation and cut and destroy the weeds growing thereon, and the costs of such removal shall be paid by the owner or responsible party of the property.”
Cultivated flowers and gardens are outside that weed definition. Trees and shrubs are outside it too. Grass and other vegetation over twelve inches are inside it. The ordinance is about cutting and destroying that growth after notice. It is not a spray schedule.
The City’s Welcome Guide for New Residents lists “Grass and weeds higher than 12 inches” among common reported conditions. It also says each property owner maintains the property to the curb or street, keeping sidewalks free of debris, weeds, and obstructions.
Who to call about a tall-grass complaint
The City’s Code Enforcement page lists Tall Grass and Weeds as an example of a code violation. It says you can submit a code complaint through the Code Enforcement Department at 405-739-1009 during normal business hours. Required information is the location or address and the nature of the violation.
Written complaints may be mailed to City of Midwest City Neighborhood Services Department, 8726 SE 15th Street, Midwest City, OK 73110. That address and phone are the City’s. OKC Lawn Rx is 405-526-4481.
Spraying does not clear a 12-inch notice
OKC Lawn Rx offers weed control and fertilization on the maintained lawn. No weekly mowing, aeration, or overseeding is currently offered. A spray visit does not cut the grass. It does not clear a notice for weeds or plant growth over twelve inches. That notice, in Ordinance 3380, is about cutting and destroying the weeds. If the growth is already over twelve inches, mowing is a different job, and it is not a job this shop does.
Weed control on a lawn you already keep mowed is a different question from a tall-grass complaint. Say which one you are looking at when you call.
Where clippings and leftover herbicide go
The Welcome Guide says the compost facility is at 7420 NE 36th St. Hours in the guide are Tuesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is closed on holidays. Items the guide says are accepted include leaves and grass clippings, brush, other green waste, and wood material eight feet or less and not more than 20 inches in diameter.
The guide says the facility can only accept paper lawn and refuse bags. It says to bring proof of residency: the most recent Midwest City utility bill and a current driver’s license.
The same guide lists pesticides and herbicides as household hazardous waste, with paint, oils, and light bulbs. Household hazardous waste drop-off in the guide is by appointment and free to Midwest City residents. The guide says to contact 405-739-1049. Do not take those products to the compost facility.
Lawn weeds by season, in two lines
OSU Extension HLA-6421 says to apply preemergence herbicides by March 15 to April 1 for crabgrass and foxtails, and by September 15 for annual bluegrass and chickweed. OSU’s Consumer Bermudagrass Lawn Management Calendar places the first crabgrass pre-emergent from January 1 to March 5, and a September 1 to October 1 window for winter broadleaf weeds that the calendar says is not effective for annual grass control. Those are public timing cues, not a date booked for every Midwest City yard.
Weed lists, summer and winter annuals, and the longer timing notes are on weed control Oklahoma City. This page does not copy them. We confirm a visit after we see the lawn. We will not name a product from this page.
How the six-visit plan handles weeds
- 3 weed visitsWeed control and pre-emergent. Fertilizer is not on those visits.
- 3 feed visitsFertilizing plus spot weed treatment.
- Not one sprayNew-to-spray yards usually need more than one treatment. Heavy weeds can take a full season.
The visits are not a mowing calendar
A full treatment plan is 6 visits a year. Three of those visits are weed control and pre-emergent. Fertilizer is not on those visits. The other three are fertilizing plus spot weed treatment. The OSU windows above are public timing cues we can talk through. They are not a promise that a visit falls on a particular day. We confirm the plan after we see this lawn.
On a full treatment plan, call 405-526-4481 if something pops up between regular visits and we can come by to spot spray. Stay off the grass until it is dry. After fertilizing, water within 24–48 hours if you can, and do not mow until the fertilizer has been watered in.
Typical local per-visit ranges — not a locked price list
These are the same typical local per-visit ranges already published on this site, not a new price and not a locked list. A small lawn is about a $50 minimum. About a half acre is about $135–$150. About one acre is about $225–$250. Harder yards cost more. Easier multi-acre yards can be less per acre. We confirm the final price after we see the property. Nothing is booked until you agree.

For-hire lawn pesticide work and ODAFF
The Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry pesticides page says a pesticide applicator license is required for anyone to act, operate, do business, or advertise commercially or non-commercially. It describes a commercial applicator as a person who engages in commercial application of pesticides. It defines commercial application as advertising of services, recommendation for use, the preparation for application, and the physical act of applying a pesticide for hire or compensation.
ODAFF lists category 3a, Ornamental and Turf Outdoor, as the application of pesticides within residential or business areas to lawns, ornamental trees, and shrubs, including park areas, golf courses, and other recreational areas, except work defined under other licensed categories. The same page says a certification card is not a license to do pesticide work. A pesticide business license is required for a certified applicator who wants to do commercial pesticide work, or it must be held by the employer.
That is the state’s description of the rule. This page does not print a license number. Call or text 405-526-4481.
Where these facts come from
The twelve-inch rule is quoted from Ordinance 3380. The complaint phone is the number on the City’s live Code Enforcement page. Compost hours and the paper-bag note are from the City’s Welcome Guide. Weed timing is two public OSU lines, with the longer notes on another page of this site. Visit counts, the route, and the per-visit ranges are what this site already publishes.

Common questions
What does Midwest City say about tall weeds?
Ordinance No. 3380 amends Municipal Code section 20-2 so property-maintenance section 302.4 reads: “All premises and exterior property shall be maintained free from weeds or plant growth in excess of twelve (12) inches. All noxious weeds shall be prohibited.” Weeds are defined as all grasses, annual plants, and vegetation other than trees or shrubs. Cultivated flowers and gardens are not included.
After notice, if the owner or responsible person does not cut and destroy the weeds, a code official or a contractor hired by the city may enter, cut and destroy the weeds, and the costs of that removal are paid by the owner or responsible party. The City’s Welcome Guide for New Residents also lists “Grass and weeds higher than 12 inches” as a common reported condition.
Who do I call about tall grass in Midwest City?
The City’s Code Enforcement page lists Tall Grass and Weeds as a code violation. It says you can submit a code complaint through the Code Enforcement Department at 405-739-1009 during normal business hours. It asks for the location or address and the nature of the violation.

That is the City’s number, not OKC Lawn Rx. For a treatment visit, call or text 405-526-4481.
Will a spray visit clear a 12-inch weed notice?
No. A spray visit does not cut the grass. Ordinance 3380 is about cutting and destroying weeds or plant growth over twelve inches after notice. OKC Lawn Rx offers weed control and fertilization. No weekly mowing, aeration, or overseeding is currently offered. Spraying does not clear a 12-inch tall-grass notice.

Accepted items include leaves and grass clippings.

When do lawn weeds show up around Midwest City?
OSU Extension HLA-6421 says to apply preemergence herbicides by March 15 to April 1 for crabgrass and foxtails, and by September 15 for annual bluegrass and chickweed.

Does Oklahoma require a license for for-hire lawn pesticide work?
The Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry pesticides page says a pesticide applicator license is required for anyone to act, operate, do business, or advertise commercially or non-commercially. It describes commercial application as advertising of services, recommendation for use, the preparation for application, and the physical act of applying a pesticide for hire or compensation. Category 3a, Ornamental and Turf Outdoor, is the application of pesticides within residential or business areas to lawns. ODAFF also says a certification card is not a license to do pesticide work.
This page explains that statewide rule. It does not print a license number.
