4-17-8. Noxious weeds -- Failure to control after notice a nuisance -- Notice and
hearing -- Control at county expense -- Owner liable for county costs -- Charges lien
against property.
(1) If the owner or person in possession of the property fails to take action to control or
prevent the spread of noxious weeds within five working days after the property is declared a
public nuisance, the county may, after reasonable notification, enter the property, without the
consent of the owner or the person in possession, and perform any work necessary, consistent
with sound weed prevention and control practices, to control the weeds.
(2) Any expense incurred by the county in controlling the noxious weeds is paid by the
property owner of record or the person in possession of the property, as the case may be, within
90 days after receipt of the charges incurred by the county. If not paid within 90 days after notice
of the charges, the charges become a lien against the property and are collectible by the county
treasurer at the time general property taxes are collected.
