Wright County's agricultural inspector enforces the Minnesota Noxious Weed Law across the unincorporated townships. Owners must control state-designated weeds like Canada thistle and wild parsnip; ignore a notice and the county abates the weeds and bills the land.
The Minnesota Noxious Weed Law, Minn. Stat. sections 18.75 to 18.91, requires every landowner and occupant to control weeds the state commissioner designates as noxious, species such as Canada thistle, leafy spurge, common tansy, and wild parsnip. Wright County appoints an agricultural inspector who administers this law across the townships it zones. The process is notice-driven: the inspector issues an individual control notice ordering action by a set date; if the owner does not act, the county may enter, abate the weeds, and charge the cost back to the property taxes. Cities handle their own weed and overgrowth nuisance rules separately.
Failing to control noxious weeds after the inspector's notice lets Wright County abate them and assess the cost against the property, collectible with taxes. Continued non-compliance is a misdemeanor under the state weed law.
