Pomona enforces vegetation clearance under CA PRC Section 4291. Properties in fire hazard severity zones must maintain 100 ft of defensible space. Zone 1 (0-30 ft) lean/clean/green, Zone 2 (30-100 ft) reduce and remove.
Pomona's Code Compliance Division enforces vegetation maintenance under the Pomona Municipal Code. Tall, dead, diseased, or otherwise overgrown vegetation is prohibited on all properties. Under CFC Section 325, the Fire Code Official may require areas within 10 feet on each side of highways and private streets to be cleared of flammable vegetation and combustible growth. Property owners must maintain landscaping year-round. The Code Compliance Division investigates violations and abates nuisances and hazardous conditions.
Code Compliance uses progressive enforcement: education, warnings, then citations and penalties. Contact Code Compliance at 909-620-2374 to report overgrown vegetation or fire hazards.
