Littleton prohibits noxious weeds and defines weeds as unacceptable landscaping under the ULUC and Landscape Design Criteria Manual. Colorado's Noxious Weed Act (CRS Section 35-5.5-101) requires control of designated weed species. The city enforces through code compliance.
Littleton's ULUC and Landscape Design Criteria Manual explicitly state that weeds and artificial plants are not considered acceptable landscaping. Colorado's Noxious Weed Act (CRS Section 35-5.5-101) designates specific invasive plant species that must be controlled, including List A (mandatory eradication), List B (management required), and List C (recommended management). Property owners in Littleton must control noxious weeds on their property. The city's code compliance team enforces weed control through a courtesy notice and escalating enforcement process. Certain plants like Siberian elm and Russian olive may be specifically prohibited or discouraged. Littleton's proximity to the South Platte River and open space areas makes weed management particularly important for ecosystem health.
Noxious weed infestation: courtesy notice, then citation. State noxious weed violations: county weed district enforcement. Failure to abate: city abatement billed to owner.
