WEED ABATEMENT COMPLAINT FORM

All complaints to the Fire Prevention Bureau must be completed on this form. An on-site inspection shall be conducted to determine if the parcel(s) require weed abatement in order to protect nearby structures or wooden fences from fire. Due to laws prohibiting illegal searches, the Fire Prevention Bureau will no longer look over fences, climb fences, enter a backyard or enter a residence to confirm weed complaints. All weed violations must be visible from the street. If the site is determined to be a fire hazard, the owner/tenant is to abate the hazard by discing/mowing, providing defensible space, or cleanup of brush or trimmings.
