Noxious Weeds Department

The Bonner County Noxious Weeds Department is a function required by state statute (Idaho Code - Title 22, Chapter 24). 

Our mission is to keep Bonner County properties and rights-of-way clean and clear of state listed noxious weeds, in accordance with Idaho Code 22-2405 (County Duties), as well as Bonner County invasive weeds of concern.  Additionally, in accordance with Idaho Code 22-2405, we maintain ongoing efforts to examine land in the county for noxious weeds in order to detect small infestation noxious weed species and keep them from becoming widespread issues.  We strive to achieve strong customer service as related to compliance assistance with noxious weeds (Idaho Code 22-2407 - Landowner Duties) via weeds identification, technical assistance--which includes control recommendations, renting herbicide application equipment, facilitating cost share programs and providing public education (continuously throughout the year).
