(b) Trees with invasive root systems.
Full Breakdown
Under Title 30's landscaping standards, required plant material on developed sites must avoid two prohibited categories: any species listed on the Nevada Department of Agriculture's noxious weed list (NAC 555.010), and trees with invasive root systems that can damage hardscape, utilities, or foundations. The rule applies wherever the county mandates landscaping - most commercial, multifamily, and many single-family developments - and is checked when a landscape plan is submitted for permit or site plan review.
Violations & Fines
Landscape plans proposing a listed noxious weed or an invasive-root-system tree get rejected at plan review; installing prohibited species after approval can draw a code enforcement notice requiring removal and replacement with compliant plant material.
