NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that upon establishing probable cause to believe a
noxious weed or declared pest infestation exists upon any property in Brown
County, a representative of the Brown County Weed and Pest Control Board will
enter upon said property for the purpose of inspecting and confirming that such
infestation actually exists.
