Utah's Noxious Weed Act makes every property owner control listed noxious weeds. The Davis County Weed Control Board can order abatement, and ignoring the notice makes the land a public nuisance.
Under the Utah Noxious Weed Act (Utah Code Title 4, Chapter 17), the Davis County Weed Control Board posts an annual notice of noxious weeds and can serve an individual owner a notice specifying what action to take on a specific parcel. An owner who fails to act as directed is legally maintaining a public nuisance. If the weeds are not controlled within five working days after the property is declared a nuisance, the county may enter the land without consent and do the work. This is separate from city ordinary grass-height limits (Layton 6.24.070, Bountiful 14-14-110), which target overgrown lawns rather than state-listed noxious species.
The county may abate the weeds at the owner's expense; unpaid charges become a lien against the property collected with general property taxes.
