[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
Blue Mounds as Sec. 11.06 of the 2001 Village Code. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
No person owning property within the Village of Blue Mounds
shall permit to grow or pollinate upon his premises any weeds or grasses
which cause or produce hay fever in human beings, exhale unpleasant
or noxious odors or conceal filthy deposits. In order to prevent such
growth and pollination, it shall be the duty of every property owner
to mow or cause to be mowed upon his premises all grasses or weeds
exceeding one foot in height.
It shall be the duty of the Weed Commissioner to enforce this
chapter and if any person shall fail to comply herewith, the Commissioner
shall, after five days' written notice to the owner, cause the
premises to be mowed and report the cost thereof in writing to the
Village Clerk/Treasurer in the manner provided in Wis. Stat. §§ 66.0407
and 66.0517. Such charge shall be spread on the tax roll as a special
tax to be collected in the same manner as other taxes unless such
lands are exempt from taxation.
