Residents and Property Owners of Boone: NEW 2016 Noxious Weed & Growths within the City Limits of Boone, Iowa
Spring is upon us which, along with the good weather, brings green grass and lots of growth. The city of Boone is required by ordinance
to maintain properties that do not cut weeds or grass over twelve inches tall or to allow volunteer trees less than three inches in diameter
to grow upon the parking along the street, in the alley or on privately owned lots or parcel of ground on the land owned the city abutting
the privately owned land. It shall be the duty of such owner or occupant to cut or cause to be cut down all noxious weeds or growths
upon the lot or parcel of ground, and to keep cut down reasonably close to the ground all grass, noxious weeds and volunteer trees upon
the space between the lot line and the curb line or edge of traveled way along or in front of the lot or along the adjacent half of alley.
Such growths are declared to be a public nuisance.
2016 mowing season charges are as follows maximum civil penalty of fifty ($50) dollars for the first violation and two hundred ($200)
dollars for the second and subsequent violations, a five ($5) dollar administrative fee, plus the actual costs of such cutting or mowing
necessary to bring the property into compliance. NO NOTICES OR WARNING LETTERS WILL BE ISSUED OR SENT.
After the weeds commissioner has completed the destruction of weeds or growth, he shall determine as to each tract of real estate the
actual costs of destroying said weeds or growths and the applicable civil penalties and administrative fees, and assess the resulting sum
against said tract of real estate by a special tax and collected with interest and penalty after due, in the same manner as other unpaid
taxes.
Residents and property owners are encouraged to take notice of these property maintenance requirements. The city of Boone appreciates your cooperation in keeping properties in compliance with applicable ordinances to avoid these charges. If you have questions
regarding these requirements, please feel free to contact the Boone Police Department, Community Service Officer at 515-432-3456.
