Unincorporated Weld County has no general grass-height limit, but its Noxious Weed Management Enforcement Policy declares listed noxious weeds a public nuisance and requires all landowners to manage them. Greeley separately enforces noxious-weed control and bans decaying vegetation.
In this large agricultural county, weeds are regulated through the Colorado Noxious Weed Act rather than a suburban grass-height rule. The Weld County Noxious Weed Management Enforcement Policy (Chapter 15), adopted by Ordinance 2004-9, applies throughout the unincorporated county and declares the listed noxious weeds, at all stages, a public nuisance subject to abatement. Landowners who ignore a Notice to Control Identified Noxious Weeds within ten days can have the weeds controlled by the county at their expense. Home-rule Greeley runs its own weed-control program (Sections 12-503, 12-606, 12-607): decaying vegetation is prohibited and owners who fail to manage noxious weeds within seven days can be charged the abatement cost plus $50 and 20% incidentals.
Weld County can abate uncontrolled noxious weeds and lien the whole cost, plus up to 20% incidentals, against the tract. Greeley adds a $50 charge plus 20% inspection cost to owner-neglect abatements.
