St. Michael enforces Minnesota's Noxious Weed Law (Minn. Stat. ch. 18.75-.91) through Sec. 91.35-91.44. Listed noxious weeds (Canada thistle, leafy spurge, knapweed, common tansy, etc.) must be eradicated regardless of height.
The city ties enforcement to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture's annually updated Noxious Weed List. Three categories apply: Prohibited Eradicate (must be killed by all means; e.g., grecian foxglove, oriental bittersweet), Prohibited Control (cannot be allowed to spread; e.g., Canada thistle), and Restricted (sale prohibited; e.g., crown vetch). After a written notice of violation, owners have 7 days to comply; the city may abate and assess if owners fail to act. The same process applies to long grass over 8 inches on developed lots.
Violation is a misdemeanor under Sec. 10.99 up to $1,000 fine and 90 days. Abatement costs are placed on the property tax roll as a special assessment.
