Funding

These local programs are funded either through a weed assessment on land, or through an appropriation from the county general fund. Currently 45 percent of these programs are funded by a weed assessment on land. The remainder have budgets appropriated from the county general fund. Whether by assessment or general fund, more than $3 million is locally invested in the annual budgets of these programs statewide. They, in turn, direct the substantial investment made by landowners throughout Washington for actual noxious weed control work.
