Right-of-way Property Maintenance

You may know that it is illegal to place branches and unwanted yard waste on Town and CDOT right-of-way, but did you also know the right-of-way adjacent to private property is the responsibility of the property owner to maintain?

While the Town has received a grant to fund a temporary code enforcement officer, keeping the entire community kept up, clean, and inviting is the responsibility of all community members. The Lyons Municipal Code has numerous laws placing responsibility on property owners and residents, to keep not only private property clean and nuisance-free, but also to maintain the public rights-of-way adjacent to the owners' property.
