Dear Property Owner,
Collaborative efforts are key to building fire resilient communities. As a property owner in a designated Fire Hazard Severity Zone of the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI), you play a vital role in keeping both your property and neighborhood safe by complying with the minimum fire safe regulations.
Your property was recently inspected by the Santa Clara County Fire Department on <<Inspection date>>. At that time, the following items were identified to bring your property into compliance with the enforced Wildland Fire Safety Regulations. The noted corrections are listed below:
<<Violations>> <<Inspector comments>>
Please ensure that your property satisfies the requirements above, then call or email the Fire Prevention Division of the Santa Clara County Fire Department at 408.341.4420 or [email protected] to schedule a re-inspection. If your property re-inspection is not scheduled within fourteen (14) days after your initial failed inspection, the Santa Clara County Fire Department will conduct an independent re-inspection of your property to determine compliance status.
You have the option to complete the required work yourself or hire your own contractor. For information about brush and weed abatement services, call 408.282.3145 or visit WeedAbatement.SCCgov.org.
All property’s compliance must be verified through reinspection no later than June 1st, 2025. Properties identified by the Fire Department as being non-compliant with the Wildland Fire Safety Regulations will be referred to your city/town for mandatory abatement. The local authority will make a declaration identifying properties with hazardous conditions and may hold a public hearing. At that time, if your property has been identified as non-compliant, you will be notified.
