Frequently Asked Questions
Although we wish that we could assist every weed infestation, we are constrained by time and resources. We are also limited to weeds that are on the state noxious weed list. However, we are always happy to help educate you on non-noxious weeds and provide recommendations of treatment options available.
One of the most effective ways to get a hold of somebody to answer your questions is to email Wyatt, the dept. supervisor, at wfreeze@boxeldercounty.org, or call the office number at (435) 695-2580.
The most effective way to report a noxious weed infestation is to complete a "Weed Alert Form". You can do this by clicking on the following link: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/c2d58dd1793043bc87abebc0f6697590. Fill out the required information and we will automatically be alerted to the report! Note that this information is confidential and will not be shared if you do not desire us to.
You can also reach out to us through email or over the phone.
There are many great resources included on the Box Elder County Weed Department's website that can start you in identifying your weed. However, we are always happy to identify it for you. Just bring it to our office, or send us a picture and we will help you to figure out what it is!
- The first step is to decide if you have the ability to complete a effective treatment of the infestation? If you do, then fill out the "Landowner Will Treat" portion of the Permission Letter. You will also fill out this section if you would like to contract the treatment to a commercial applicator.
- If you do not have the ability to complete an effective treatment, fill out the "County Will Treat" portion of the Permission Letter
- Once you have filled out the appropriate section of the Permission letter, put the Permission Letter into the provided envelope and place it into your nearest Postal Service drop box (or put it in your mailbox). You can email us a scanned copy of the Permission Letter to wfreeze@boxeldercounty.org
The short answer is no. If you signed the section declining to have the county complete treatment of your noxious weed infestation, that does not mean you can't change your mind. There are many factors that prevent a landowner from being able to complete treatment, so please just contact us and we would be happy to help in the most effective way possible.
This is due to the fact that a state noxious weed has been observed or recorded to be on your property. The purpose of a weed notice is to inform the recipient that their property contains a state noxious weed, and then outlines the landowners different options to treat the infestation. If you were not aware of the infestation, and would like to learn more, contact us.
According to the Utah Noxious Weed Act RS68-9, "it is the duty of every property owner to control and prevent the spread of noxious weeds on any land in his possession, or under his control". 54 weeds have been designated as "noxious" in the state of Utah.
