Why would Kitsap County fine landowners for not controlling noxious weeds yet not maintain noxious weeds on Kitsap County property?
Kitsap County agencies/departments (such as Parks & Recreation, Public Works, etc.) will be notified of and are required to control noxious weed infestations, much the same way private landowners are notified. The perception that Kitsap County is not controlling weeds on County property is a frequently heard and inaccurate one. The public is much more likely to see weeds on public lands, and it is easier to notice where the weeds are, rather than where they are not or where they have been controlled. Public Works has been very responsive and has controlled a significant number of weed infestations throughout the County.
