Weed Assistance Program

This program is just getting started. Right now we’re gathering interest to see if there is a need for it in Holbrook. Filling out the form does not hold a spot or guarantee service. Community Development will review every submission and reach out as the program takes shape.

Keeping up with weeds is hard work, and for some of our neighbors it just isn’t possible anymore. The City of Holbrook is starting a Weed Assistance Program for homeowners who are elderly or living with a disability and can’t afford to hire someone to clear their yard.

Who can qualify

  • You own the home, and it is inside Holbrook city limits
  • You are elderly or living with a disability that makes yard work unsafe
  • Your water bill and property taxes are current (not behind)
  • Your household income is at or below the limit below, or you can show a financial hardship that keeps you from paying someone to do the work

Yearly household income limits

People in householdYearly income limit

2$16,900
3$19,000
4$21,100
5$22,800
6$24,500

Households larger than 6, please call City Hall.

Know someone who needs help? You can refer them using the same form below. Just pick “Someone I know” on the first step and we’ll reach out to them.

How it works

  1. Fill out the short application below. It takes about 5 minutes.
  2. Community Development will review it and may call you to check whether you qualify.
  3. If it looks like you qualify, we’ll mail you a letter to set up an interview at City Hall.
  4. At the interview, you’ll need to show proof that you own the home, that your water bill and property taxes are current, and your household income or financial hardship.
  5. If you’re approved, you’ll sign a liability waiver before the City schedules any work.

Help is based on need and available resources. The program is still being set up, so filling out the form is a way to let us know you’re interested. It does not guarantee service.

Need help with the application? Call City Hall at (928) 524-6225 or stop by 465 1st Avenue and staff can help you fill it out.
