RE: ANNUAL WEED ABATEMENT REQUIREMENT

The weather is warming, and fire season is approaching. The Five Cities Fire Authority encourages the community to properly maintain their property.

All residential properties and alleyways in Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach and Oceano are required to have weeds and grasses no taller than four inches (4”), growing upon or in front of their property (along with the removal of all other combustible materials). For R-A zoned lot (one acre or more), mowing or disking of a thirty foot (30’) wide break around the property perimeter down to mineral soil is required. Abatement of your property is a requirement per California Health and Safety Code, Section 14900.5. 

Residents can contact fire administration at 805.473.5490 with questions.

REMEMBER:   During fire season, all property owners shall continuously abate dried or combustible vegetation from their property.
