Vacant Lot Program Print E-mail

The Unimproved Property Hazard Reduction Program (Vacant Lot Program) requires that the owners of unimproved property cut and/or clear combustible vegetation as outlined in the Unimproved Property Hazard Reduction Standard.  The defensible space that is created by cutting and/or clearing flammable vegetation improves the ability of our community to survive a wildland fire and increases the safety margin and working room for Firefighters.

Property owners have the option of either utilizing the EDH Fire Department's Weed Abatement Contractor or doing the work themselves.  Utilizing the Department's contractor ensures compliance with our standards and is charged at the hourly rate bid by the contractor.  The property owner, of course, is responsible for the cost of the abatement plus a $25 administrative fee.  Non-compliant owners will be charged a $50 administrative fee.  All property owners need to verify the requirements of their Homeowner's Association (HOA).  It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure that their property is in compliance with their HOA as well as the Fire Department's standards.
