Can you get fined by the city for not cutting your grass?

My neighbor hasn't cut his grass in literal years. It's an absolute mess in his yard and I'm wondering if there are any city ordinances about a wild, untamed lawn. Can you get fined by the city for not cutting your grass?

Whether or not your neighbor will get a city fine for not cutting his grass depends on your city’s rules. Some cities, neighborhoods, or homeowners associations have rules about lawn maintenance, generally citing unkempt lawns as a violation of nuisance ordinances.
If your area enforces nuisance ordinances for lawn care, your neighbor may be fined by the city if his grass continues to get out of hand.
Disputes between neighbors can be complicated– but that doesn’t mean your
