MINSK, Belarus – Property owners in Belarus could face fines of up to 1050 Belarusian rubles for failing to maintain their lawns, specifically for grass exceeding 20 centimeters in height. This measure is part of local beautification regulations. However, authorities emphasize that these fines are not arbitrarily imposed. Each case of overgrown vegetation is reviewed individually. Property owners are typically issued a warning first, providing them with a grace period to clear their plots. Officials clarify that the maximum fine, equivalent to 25 basic units, is primarily intended for healthy individuals who deliberately neglect their property despite receiving official warnings. Exceptions are made for vulnerable groups, including the elderly, disabled citizens, or those who genuinely lack the means or physical ability to manage their land. In such instances, efforts are made to connect residents with volunteers or public organizations to assist with the upkeep. This approach aims to ensure community standards are met while providing flexibility and support to those who need it, rather than imposing immediate financial penalties on all offenders.
