TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - The city of Toledo is apologizing to a man after they billed him for cutting grass on public property near his home.
Anthony Davis and his wife have lived in their home in south Toledo since 1995.
The grass in the cul-de-sac outside their home is often overgrown.
Davis normally does not mind cutting it himself.
"Just so that we don't look like we're living in some type of jungle or something," Davis said.
However, recently the grass grew up to his knees.
He called the city who came out and mow the lawn, but a few days later, Davis received a bill charging him for the services.
"Why am I, you know, having this bill when the city is supposed to maintain the property itself? It's not my property," Davis said.
The city of Toledo said that it was a mistake, and that they apologize to Davis.
