Property owners must clear flammable vegetation within 100 feet of every structure under TFPD Ordinance 02-2012, implementing California Public Resources Code Section 4291.
TFPD Ordinance 02-2012 enforces the 100-foot defensible space standard required by California PRC 4291. Owners must remove dead/dying vegetation, limb up trees so the lowest branches are at least 6 feet above the ground, separate tree crowns horizontally (10-20 ft depending on slope), and keep grasses cut to 4 inches or less in Zone 2 (30-100 ft from structures). Truckee Fire conducts free educational inspections and full compliance inspections at point of sale, prior to STR registration, and at building-permit final.
Non-compliance after a 30-day correction notice can trigger administrative abatement at the owner's expense, denial of STR or building permits, and citations under TFPD ordinance and PRC 4291.
