Be a Good Neighbor
Living Together, Respecting Each Other
Follow these simple guidelines to help keep Graymoor-Devondale safe, clean, and welcoming for everyone. This guide covers everything from yard care and home improvements to parking rules, pet responsibilities, and community safety—helping every resident contribute to a friendly, respectful, and thriving neighborhood.
Grass Clippings
After mowing your lawn, please sweep or bag your grass clippings instead of leaving them in the street. This helps keep our neighborhood clean and prevents yard waste from going into drains.
Home Improvements
Before starting any exterior home improvement project, please reach out to the City Clerk at cityclerk@graymoordevondale.com or call the City Office. It’s important to confirm if any permits or variances are needed, so your project stays on track and compliant with city rules.
Examples of projects that require a permit include home additions, sheds, garages, and fences. Failure to obtain the required permit may delay, alter, or stop your project until the required permit is received from the Graymoor-Devondale Code Enforcement Officer.
Nuisances
Graymoor-Devondale has rules to keep our community looking great. These include managing tall grass, weeds, rubbish, and trees or shrubs that obstruct streets, sidewalks or drains and also keeping of animals and junk (scrap metal and cars).
Residents are responsible for maintaining their property’s appearance. Failing to do so may result in citations or fines from the Graymoor-Devondale Police Department.
Pet Nuisances
Residents are expected to be respectful of our City and other residents and should ensure their pet is a welcomed member of our community and neighbor.
When walking their (leashed) dogs, residents are expected to carry bags and remove any waste left by their dog. Additionally, out of consideration for your pet’s health and consideration for neighbors residents are expected to remove pet waste from their yard before it becomes a smelly nuisance. Cats are not allowed to roam into other residents’ yards. Cat owners should keep their cat on a leash or on the owner’s property.
Pet nuisance issues are not addressed by the Graymoor-Devondale Police Department or governed by Graymoor-Devondale Ordinances. Such issues are addressed only by Metro Animal Control and their actions are usually to pick up and remove the pet. The pet’s owner is then required to pick up their pet and pay all fees due Metro Animal Control.
