The Nebraska Noxious Weed Control Act makes every landowner responsible for controlling designated noxious weeds. Sarpy County's Noxious Weed Control Authority enforces it, while cities run their own weed-and-nuisance ordinances for overgrown lots.
Weed control in Sarpy County runs on two tracks. The Nebraska Noxious Weed Control Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 2-945.01 to 2-970) requires every person to control the spread of designated noxious weeds on their land, and the county Noxious Weed Control Authority, led by a weed superintendent, inspects property and enforces compliance. Sarpy's listed noxious weeds include musk, plumeless, and Canada thistle, leafy spurge, purple loosestrife, phragmites, and knotweed. Separately, each city's weed-and-grass ordinance targets ordinary overgrowth on residential and vacant lots. Owners who ignore a control order can be billed for the county's or city's abatement.
The weed superintendent or city code officer serves written notice to control the weeds. If the owner does not comply, the authority may treat the land and assess the cost against the property, and continued violations can bring added penalties.
