Good Neighbor - Do's and Don'ts

The core of a good neighborhood is the type of relationships established among its neighbors. The first step in building a relationship is respecting those next door, down the street and around the corner.




While people have their own ideas of a good neighbor and a good neighborhood, there are some basic standards established either through the City's code and zoning laws or through common courtesies that make life better in your community.

Clean your gutters regularly
Change batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors twice a year
Empty excess water collecting in pots, buckets and containers that can attract and breed mosquitoes
Plant perennials for the upcoming year
Schedule bulky items for pickup and place out bulk, yard waste, and roll cans the correct day
Properly display house numbers
Clean up after your pets

Don'ts
Park your car on the front lawn
Store excess trash and debris around your home
Play loud music after 10 p.m.
Park inoperable vehicles on your property
Forget to retrieve trash rollout containers by midnight on your collection date
Allow your dog to bark excessively during the night
