WEED CONTROL > Cost Share Program

Description of Cost Share Program
Alamosa County will assist any willing landowner within Alamosa County in the eradication or control of weeds deemed noxious by the State of Colorado. The County will pay 40% of the cost of the noxious weed removal operation and the landowner paying 60%. The total percentage of help to a landowner will not exceed $400.00.

This assistance can be for any form of weed removal as long as the operation is a legitimate weed control measure. Alamosa County Weed Control can do the actual work at set rates; the landowner can do the work, or hire an independent contractor. The work can include spraying, chopping, hydro seeding, burning, noxious tree removal etc. However, the Alamosa County Weed Control Supervisor must see the problem prior to any agency other than Alamosa County Weed Control doing the work to receive this assistance.

The funds may not always be available all summer long so the allocation of the Cost Share Program funds is on a first come, first serve basis. If the money is not available at the moment the landowner is in line for the next time funding is possible.
