Weed Control

It is the responsibility of property owners to take care of weeds early to prevent growth, scattering and ripening of weeds and weed seeds.

Although a patch of yellow dandelions can be pretty, they are a noxious weed. If not dealt with, they can easily spread out of control. Dandelions do not require pollination and their seeds, found on fine hairs, allow easy dispersal by wind. All weeds, including dandelions, can quickly spread to neighboring properties, making weed control frustrating for all property owners, as well as eye sores in the community.

The City of Steinbach makes inspections and follows up on complaints where weeds are reported as flourishing. If necessary, the weeds will be destroyed with the cost of the weed control charged to the property owner.

Public notice is hereby given by the City of Steinbach, that weed control is the responsibility of the property owner, agent or occupant (sec. 3, Noxious Weeds Act). 

This is the Official Notice for 2026 to destroy all weeds as often as necessary to prevent growth, scattering, and ripening of the weeds and weed seeds (sec. 20, Noxious Weeds Act), in the City of Steinbach. 

If weeds are not destroyed, the City of Steinbach may enter the land/property and destroy weeds (sec. 19, Noxious Weeds Act), and charge the cost of weed control to the property owner through the tax rolls (sec. 27, Noxious Weeds Act). 

Any information on specific locations where weeds are flourishing should be brought to the attention of the City of Steinbach by phoning 204-346-6561, emailing CSO@steinbach.ca, or filling out the contact form below.
