The Weed Superintendent is responsible for assisting taxpayers on weed control issues and plant identification, enforcement of State Weed Laws, preparing and submitting all required annual reports to the
Nebraska Department of Agriculture. State Statues require control of noxious weeds. A landowner that does not meet this requirement will be contacted. If they choose not to control noxious weeds, the Weed Superintendent can force control, or spray the property and the costs will be assessed to the property taxes.
