Irving does not maintain a city-level prohibited plant species list. Texas Department of Agriculture and USDA regulate noxious weeds and invasive species at the state and federal level.
Irving does not have a local prohibited plant species ordinance. Invasive and noxious plant species are regulated at the state level by the Texas Department of Agriculture under the Texas Noxious Weed List. The USDA regulates invasive species at the federal level. Common invasive species in the DFW area include Chinese tallow, giant reed, ligustrum, and Johnson grass. Property owners are responsible for maintaining their lots free of dangerous weeds that pose health hazards under Irving's property maintenance codes. The city's weed ordinance (grass/weeds over 10 inches) addresses general vegetation maintenance. The North Central Texas Council of Governments provides regional guidance on invasive species management.
