Round up is cheap. Spray his whole yard around dark thirty. Then start complaining about his mudhole

I had the same problem. We have had an influx of Yuppie types that have moved out here from the city. I think some do-gooder walked by with their poodle and did not like what they saw.
For about 4 years I had a hard time maintaining my yard which is very visible on a corner due to hip issues. Got a nastygram from the County. Had to clean up and hide things. He got on my about some trivial things like firewood and "unlicensed" boats. I calmly explained to him that in Wisconsin non-powered boats do not have to be licensed and told him there are NO ordinances regarding firewood.
My advice would be to take a good look at your County zoning ordinances. If you are truly in violation of them there is not much you can do but comply.
Moosetrot I agree. Take a real close look at zoning, rules. May be a good chance the knob is in violation of one or two of them himself.

I don't know your situation or surroundings so I could argue either side. If no covenants, restrictions, or ordinances that require it be a certain length than you are free to do what you want with it, even if it may devalue yours or the neighbors property.
Or, you could always declare your yard a honeybee restoration project or put it in the pollinator program and then tell them to pound sand.

The first problem is you have neighbors the second is they can see your property and stick their nose in your business. If the game of ordnance calling is the only game you can play be the best at it then. Sounds petty but nice will have no impact on those types of folks.

I don't hold with the devalue argument as that gets into coercive takings where one or more can take the labor and property of another for their own purposes.
How that was ever allowed to stand on constitutional grounds is beyond me. I know you don't wanna hear this but... Like it or not it's going to be hard on your property value (no matter how nice your yard is), if you're living in a area where the others' yards in the area look like crap. It's because people don't want to live near that. We have a neighbor that's got junk all over, he mows but only a wide path around everything. I'm not the type to turn him in for it but I can certainly see why someone would want to.

I've never understood how we got to the point that people believe the city has the authority to dictate whether or not your grass is too tall.
I don't really have any legal advice... Best I can offer is to catch him isolated and unawares and beat the whiz out of him. Then make him prove it was you that did it.
Sorry, but I'm a firm believer that if more people were taken to the Gus McRae "School of Bartending" they would be polite and keep to their own business a lot more.

Mike Putting the fear of God put into people changes their behaviour, that's for sure.
