“Do Not Spray” Program
Mackenzie County maintains a “Do Not Spray” program for residents who do not want any spraying along county roads adjacent to their property (i.e.; organic producers, berry patches, herbicide allergies, etc.).
Those interested must complete and sign a “Spray Exemption Agreement”. These are available at all County offices. Mail-in requests are not accepted and all agreements must be signed in the presence of a Mackenzie County employee. Anyone who signs an agreement will accept responsibility to control all weeds along these road allowances. The County Weed Inspector will be carrying out inspections to insure this is done, as weed control is an essential part in successful vegetation management.
The deadline for agreements is May 31, 2022. No agreements will be accepted after this date.
