CNKS: The Noxious Weed Act here in Canada is a Federal Act. It takes a complaint, but they will act. They have the power to move in an clean it up, then send you the bill. If one refuses, it can be added to the property taxes. I saw this with 20 acres of farmland, folks thought was my land. They complained and I got a visit from the weed inspector. I politely sent him off to see my neighbor, who actually owned the land.
We have much the same in some municipalities in an Unsightly Premises Act. Government will send warning, then if nothing is done they can hire a contractor, clean up and send you the bill. I ran across this one a few years back. I was buying a property with some run down buildings. I advised the vendor I would be demolishing the buildings. He said, "When your at the County Office applying for your building permit, sewer permit, etc., would you slip in see this gentleman, tell him your plans as I've already received notice of demolishion under Unsightly Premises Act." The gentleman was a person I knew, not well, but we were acquainted. He advised this would be great as they don't like enforcing the Act. I had a backhoe in to dig perk test holes, then all hell broke loose. I got waved down on road one day by the same Act enforcement guy. He said, "Hugh you indicated you were demolishing those buildings, but when? You managed to get in there with a backhoe dig perk test holes without any of the neighbor seeing who. Since the County was notoriously slow on getting out building permits, I advised him, work would commence when I had my permits to build and move in. Took 6 days, average was close to 6 months. Sometimes these laws can work in your favour.
