Cumberland County does not enforce a noxious-weed or vegetation-control ordinance. State-level invasive-plant control is administered by the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry under 7 MRS § 2301 et seq. (terrestrial invasive plants) and 38 MRS § 410-N (invasive aquatic plants). Municipal property-maintenance ordinances handle tall-weed nuisance complaints under 30-A MRS § 3001.
Maine's invasive-plant list is published by Maine DACF under Chapter 575 — Maine has prohibited the sale, propagation, and import of 33 invasive terrestrial species (including Japanese barberry, Norway maple, burning bush, oriental bittersweet) effective Jan 1, 2018. There is no county-level weed-abatement program in Cumberland County. The Maine Natural Areas Program publishes the invasive plant atlas. Aquatic invasives (variable-leaf milfoil, Eurasian milfoil, hydrilla) are regulated under 38 MRS § 410-N and 12 MRS § 1893 — boat inspections funded by the Lake and River Protection Sticker required of all motorized watercraft.
Sale of a listed invasive: Maine DACF civil penalty up to $200 per occurrence under 7 MRS § 2301. Aquatic-invasive transport on a boat trailer: civil penalty up to $2,500 under 12 MRS § 1893-A. Municipal tall-weed nuisance penalties vary by town.
