Graffiti
Graffiti on any public or private property is illegal. Graffiti is defined as any etching, painting, drawing or other marking on public or private property. It is the responsibility of the property owner to remove graffiti from private property.

Missing House Numbers
All buildings and structures must have street numbers. These numbers or letters must be clearly visible from the street. The City's police and firefighters rely on the numbers for identification of buildings. Quicker recognition of your address by the police or firefighters will save valuable time, and may mean the difference between life and death.

Yard Maintenance
Yards must be maintained in the following manner: Grass and shubbery must be cut regularly. The length of the grass shall not exceed 6 inches. Property must also be free of trash and debris.

To report violations for yard maintenance, please call Code Enforcement at 270-4584.

Trees
Street trees planted in the public right of way are the responsibility of the City. Trees planted on private property are the responsibility of the property owner.

Damaged/Snow Covered Sidewalks
The condition of sidewalks is the property owner’s responsibility. Steps, sidewalks and similar areas must be kept in good repair and maintained to assure safe travel under normal use and weather conditions. The owner, occupant or agent of any property, with a sidewalk parallel to any public street, shall clear and keep cleared any snow or ice which has accumulated on the surface. This clearing of the snow and ice shall be completed by 10:00 am of the day following the accumulation.

No person shall shovel, sweep, throw, plow or otherwise deposit snow or ice into the street, sidewalk, park or other private property located within the city.

The City of Troy has a sidewalk replacement loan program to correct sidewalk problems. You can get information on this project by calling 270-4475
