Weed Abatement Map

Is your lot compliant? Fire hazard inspection status can now be viewed on our interactive map. See legend below:

BLUE – Property is currently being cited.

RED – Property is non-compliant and work is needed to bring it into compliance.

GREEN – Property is compliant at last time of inspection.

Property owners are responsible for keeping their lots fire safe year round, whether they live in Town or not.  If you need help clearing your lot,  local businesses can do the work for you.  Visit Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce for a list of weed abatement businesses with a Paradise business license.  

Did you receive a letter from the Fire Department?  The letter describes what needs to be done on your property to make it fire-safe and bring it into compliance with the town municipal code.

Read the Town's ordinance regarding defensible space and weed abatement here.

Most notices require the grasses or brush to be removed or  cut down to a maximum of (4) inches. 30- days after the initial notification, a prevention inspector will inspect to ensure the parcel is in compliance.

There are no penalties if you complete the required clearance within the date noted on the letter. Failure to meet fire hazard requirements outlined in the notice of violation letter may be subject to administrative citations and fines, forced abatement or other remedies according to Paradise Municipal Code. 

If you believe your property has been mistakenly identified, please feel free to contact us.   defensiblespace@townofparadise.com or (530) 872-6291 ext 417.
