Castle Rock's Municipal Code limits weed height to 12 inches and, together with the Colorado Noxious Weed Act (CRS 35-5.5), requires property owners to control noxious weeds on their land. Owners manage weeds by mowing, spraying, pulling, or native landscaping.
Section 8.12 of the Town's Municipal Code limits weed growth to 12 inches or less, which the Town frames as fire prevention. Separately, Castle Rock residents are required by both Town Municipal Code and state statute (the Colorado Noxious Weed Act, Title 35, Article 5.5, CRS) to control noxious weeds on their property. The Town uses integrated methods on public land — mowing, spraying, pulling, native landscaping, and biological controls — and expects owners to do likewise. Code Compliance sends reminder letters and can pursue enforcement for uncontrolled weeds.
Non-compliance can result in Code Enforcement action; the Town may abate weeds and bill the owner. Noxious-weed neglect is enforceable under state law.
