We have the tall grass crap too. That is local nimbies trying to keep the property values up, picking on little old ladies and out-of-state banks. The homeowner's association can get you for painting your house white or adding a "structure" without prior approval. The city can get you for having a non-working vehicle parked on your own property. Google Roswell, GA chicken man for a horror story. Old guy lived in the country and raised chickens until the city grew up around him and the neighbors got him arrested for violating new local code and noise ordinances, The took him to jail, so the house got long grass and more code violation and he didn't make his mortgage payment, so the bank foreclosed. When the sheriff came to serve notice, he blew himself up in the house.
