West Jordan Municipal Code Title 8-5 requires property owners to control noxious weeds year-round. Noxious species per Utah Noxious Weed Act (§4-17) must be eradicated. Failure triggers abatement with costs liened to property.
Utah state law designates noxious weeds in four classes (1A, 1B, 2, 3, 4) under the Utah Noxious Weed Act, including Dyer's woad, leafy spurge, musk thistle, and Russian knapweed. West Jordan mirrors Salt Lake County Weed Control Department enforcement. Property owners receive written notice when noxious weeds or grasses over 10 inches are detected. A 10-day cure period applies; if unresolved, the city hires a licensed applicator to spray or cut at owner expense, charging the abatement cost plus a 25% administrative fee as a property tax lien. During wildfire season, dry vegetation on vacant lots is prioritized for abatement under fire-hazard provisions.
First notice: 10-day cure. Abatement cost + 25% admin fee liened to property. Repeat violators: civil penalty up to $750. Spreading Class 1A noxious weeds: Utah state quarantine enforcement.
