Anaheim's Weed Abatement Program is coordinated by the Life Safety Section of Anaheim Fire & Rescue. Overgrown weeds and vegetation creating fire hazards or blight conditions must be abated by property owners.
Anaheim Fire & Rescue's Life Safety Section coordinates the annual Weed Abatement Program to reduce fire hazards from overgrown vegetation on vacant and occupied lots. Property owners are responsible for maintaining their lots free of excessive weeds, dead vegetation, and combustible debris. The city's nuisance ordinance requires all properties to be maintained in a clean and safe condition. Anaheim Code Enforcement addresses weed and vegetation complaints on occupied residential properties. Vacant lots receive special attention during the fire season. If property owners fail to abate after notice, the city may perform the work and assess costs against the property as a lien. The program is particularly important in hillside and Wildland-Urban Interface areas near Anaheim Hills.
Failure to abate after notice: city cleanup and cost recovery lien. Nuisance citation: fines. Fire hazard creation: Anaheim Fire enforcement.
