Agricultural Acts & Regulations
Alberta Agricultural Regulatory Framework
This Act enables rural municipalities to establish Agricultural Service Boards (ASBs) to assist the Minister of Agriculture with local programs. ASBs employ agricultural fieldmen who serve as the primary inspectors for pest, weed, and soil conservation enforcement, bridging provincial policy with local action.
Empowers the Minister to declare specific animals, insects, or plants as pests or nuisances. Landowners must actively prevent, control, or destroy these pests. If owners fail to comply with an inspector’s notice, authorities may perform the work and recover costs by adding them to the property tax roll. An appeal process exists for landowners aggrieved by notices.
