WEED CONTROL
The municipality may provide a licensed applicator when available and chemical herbicide for application on specific species of noxious weeds under the Noxious Weed Act and approved by council.
The land owner is 100% responsible for any weed control required on their own land. If the municipality is required to hire a licensed applicator to resolve the noxious weeds, the land owner will be invoiced the full amount.
In the event that the owner does not pay the invoiced 100% cost by December 31 of the year in which work was done, it shall be deemed custom work and the amount outstanding shall be added to the property tax account and form part of the tax arrears.
