Put up a couple of duck nesting boxes, say you've got it on set aside for wildlife. Then tell them to mind their own business.

Black footed found in Georgia grasslands? Then you would see some regulations but some might bite you in the butt.

It would be legal recourse to mow and clean up the junk. lol
Like I said, I can see where the neighbor is coming from, especially if he's seeing a once charming small town turning into a run down mess, but not his method.
Our little town, most folks keep it looking nice and have some pride in having a decent, clean, up up-kept town. When I drive by and see trashy looking crap and un-mowed lawns it makes we wonder why the people don't care. Why they want their lawns looking like an eyesore? Laziness? No self pride in what they have? ??? When people drive through here I like to think they are thinking, "this looks like a pleasant little town" not "man what a craphole dump this place is".

I wholeheartedly agree with ADC. But, there is a city sanctioned program this year of helping pollinators, by NOT mowing your lawn for a few weeks. You might suggest you’re helping nature by encouraging pollinators.
Bloomington Minnesota, and a bunch of metro communities require you keep up your property. They say, based on too much experience, run down or overgrown properties are a sign of absentee owners who don’t control who is abusing the property; drug or prostitution locations; and general reduction of property values of surrounding properties.

Dang Warrior. You got my sympathy. A person should be able to maintain their property as they see fit and it's nobody else's business. Period.
A few years back I was traveling up near Seattle and I tuned into a local talk show. They were deriding some old guy that had lived out in the sticks forever and now houses had been built up around him. He had old cars, mattress springs and what have you all over his property. The neighbors had the county cite him and it was at the point that the county was fining him $300 daily and he was going to lose his property. Everybody on the talk show was on the old guy's case. But he was there before all the others. Unbelievable!
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

I guess I never twigged to keeping up with the jones'. I get that, but you don't need to aspire to keep up with the bubbas. lol A little mowing, trimming and organization isn't too much for me to have a respectable looking property.

If a code enforcement person is involved, there must be some "association" or development type of rules filed with the county that apply to all properties. Maybe you didn't know about them when you moved there? If they are in place then it would seem it is the responsibility of and the neighborly think to do is comply as best one can. Each of us can't have all things the way they want them. There are too many of us!!! Code enforcement have some insane rules. Here home owners can be cited for weeds that are 4" or more. Yes, 4 inch weeds is a violation. Guess how I learned about that code lol. There's so many insane codes it's insane

They pass legislation telling county/municipal what they can and can't do but in the fine print they exempt local zoning boards. We got us a real strong "right to farm" law. No local government can tell a farmer what he can or can't do. But the zoning board can snatch the zoning right out from under a farmer whenever and however they want.

Where I am at if you don't keep a yard picked up and mowed down you might end up with some snakes up by the house you'd just as soon not have around kids and pets

Usually it's some dipwad and/or his wife that want to sell their property and try to whip the whole area into shape to jack up the property values, which of course leads to higher taxes!
