Fillmore enforces annual weed abatement as a fire prevention and nuisance measure. Property owners must remove weeds and dead vegetation before fire season. The city works with the Ventura County Fire Protection District on annual abatement inspections.
Fillmore's weed abatement program operates under the city's nuisance ordinance and coordinates with the Ventura County Fire Protection District. Property owners must maintain their lots free of weeds, dead vegetation, rubbish, and combustible materials that could create fire hazards or nuisance conditions. Annual weed abatement notices are typically sent in spring before fire season. The program covers all properties including vacant lots. Properties are inspected for compliance, and non-compliant parcels are scheduled for contractor abatement at the owner's expense. The cost of city-contracted abatement, plus administrative fees, is assessed against the property and may become a lien. Fillmore's dry summers and agricultural surroundings make weed abatement essential for community fire safety.
Property owners receive a notice to abate with a compliance deadline. Failure to comply results in the city contracting for abatement and billing the property owner for costs plus administrative fees. Unpaid costs become a special assessment lien on the property.
