City Prepares for EVs HOAs and Cleanup

Yelm City Council is rolling out major code updates to tackle neighborhood eyesores, EV safety, and crumbling stormwater infrastructure—before HOAs vanish and leave homeowners holding the bag. Chapter nine tightens rules on junk cars, overgrown yards, and visual clutter to boost safety and emergency access. Chapter ten adds quick-disconnect switches to EV chargers so fires can be shut off fast. Chapter thirteen gives the city power to maintain stormwater systems when HOAs dissolve—and bill homeowners directly. With satellite tech tracking abandoned vehicles, Yelm’s moving fast to keep neighborhoods clean, safe, and well-maintained without relying on fading HOAs.
