A. Obligation:
1. Private Land: The cost of controlling county noxious weeds on private land shall be the obligation of the owner.
2. Other Land: On other land, the cost of control of county noxious weeds shall be the obligation of the entity or organization that has the authority to set management and maintenance revenues for the land. In the case of divisions which have the responsibilities for roads, highways, airports, fairgrounds, landfills, and any other lands, it shall be the responsibility of the respective departments to budget for the control of county noxious weeds from their general maintenance and operation accounts.
B. No Cost To Owner: Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter relating to payment of cost, when determined by the commissioners to be justified in the interest of an effective weed control program, the commissioners may control county noxious weeds on land in the county without costs to the owner.
