Commissioners approve notice making landowners responsible for roadside weed cutting starting 2025
Summary
The board approved a motion to publish a notice informing landowners that, beginning in 2025, they will be required to mow weeds on regularly traveled roads between Sept. 1 and Oct. 15 or face fines; discussion included possible incentives such as tax credits and concerns about enforcement complexities.
Commissioner Abrahamson presented a proposed notice asking landowners to cut and destroy weeds and grasses growing on regularly traveled roads and highways. The board discussed enforcement difficulties and alternatives, including Commissioner Mickelson’s suggestion to offer a tax credit rather than a fine.
The board moved to publish a notice informing residents that starting in 2025 they will be responsible for mowing from Sept. 1 to Oct. 15 (deadline listed as Oct. 15, 2025) or face a fine; the motion passed unanimously. The minutes record the policy decision to publish the notice but do not detail the fine schedule or enforcement mechanisms, which the board noted would need further work.
