West Fargo requires property owners to control noxious weeds under both local ordinances and North Dakota state noxious weed law. NDCC §63-01.1 mandates control of designated noxious weed species.
West Fargo enforces weed control through municipal ordinances aligned with North Dakota noxious weed law (NDCC §63-01.1). County weed boards oversee noxious weed management and can compel treatment. Designated noxious weeds in North Dakota include leafy spurge, Canada thistle, and absinth wormwood among others. Property owners must prevent noxious weeds from going to seed. General weed and vegetation height limits of 8 to 12 inches apply in developed areas. Agricultural land is subject to county weed board oversight. Chemical treatment is commonly used but must follow ND Department of Agriculture pesticide regulations.
Failure to control noxious weeds: county weed board may treat at owner's expense. Municipal violations: $100 to $300 fines. Treatment costs assessed as liens against the property.
