California PRC §4291 requires 100-foot defensible space in fire hazard zones. Vallejo may impose additional clearance requirements.
Properties in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) must maintain 100 feet of defensible space per California Public Resources Code §4291. Zone 1 (0 to 30 feet): lean, clean, green - remove dead vegetation, trim trees. Zone 2 (30 to 100 feet): reduce fuel, create spacing between plants and trees. Vallejo fire department or CAL FIRE conducts annual inspections. Failure to comply may result in abatement at the owner’s expense. All properties must maintain clearance regardless of VHFHSZ status if local ordinance requires it.
Non-compliance: city abatement + lien on property. PRC §4291: up to $500/day. CAL FIRE inspection failure: abatement costs + administrative fees.
