A. Every owner or occupant of property within the city shall keep weeds and grasses over eight inches (8") in height continuously cut, weeded out, removed, sprayed or destroyed on the property owned or occupied. This shall not only include all weeds on private property, but weeds situated on public property adjacent to or contiguous to private property, including areas behind curbs, sidewalks, parking areas and property to the center of alleys and ditches.
B. It is the duty and the responsibility of all landowners to control noxious weeds as listed by the state of Idaho on the premises. Control of noxious weeds shall include the prevention, eradication, and restoration of lands to be free of noxious weeds. Failure of the landowner to control noxious weeds may result in the city controlling the noxious weeds at the expense of the landowner as set forth in this chapter.
C. The term "weeds" shall mean undesirable plant growth that is unkempt, unsightly, deleterious or injurious to the public or as listed as noxious weeds by the state of Idaho or Washington County. (Ord. 1137, 11-12-2002)
