In compliance with Health and Safety Code requirements, Notices to Destroy Weeds and Remove Debris were sent to the owners of 1,901 parcels identified for weed abatement this year. Many parcel owners and/or their contractors completed abatement prior to the inspection deadline. However, 170 parcels did not pass inspection and have been placed on the Contract Abatement List.

On July 17, 2025, the CCSD Board of Directors conducted a public hearing to consider any objections or protests related to the proposed abatement. After the hearing, the Board ordered the abatement of parcels containing offending weeds and debris pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 14900. The Board directed the Fire Chief to proceed with the abatement and adopted Resolution 37-2025, formally authorizing the abatement of the public nuisance under the Fire Hazard Fuel Reduction Program (FHFRP). Beginning July 18, Paradise Tree Service, the CCSD’s contractor, will commence clearing the parcels listed on the Contract Abatement List.
