The Salt Lake County Noxious Weed List is comprised of noxious weeds listed on the State weed list.
"Noxious weed" is a legal term used at the federal, state, and county level to identify and list plants that pose a significant threat to agriculture, the environment, recreation, and public health.
At the state level, The Utah Noxious Weed Act defines a noxious weed as "... any plant the commissioner determines to be especially injurious to public health, crops, livestock, land, or other property".
The Salt Lake County Weed Board can also declare a particular weed not appearing on the state noxious weed list, but one that has an impact within the county. The board has identified 21 weeds.
