Sacramento County Code Title 17 (Fire Prevention) and Chapter 17.12 (Weed Control) authorize the County Fire Warden and Fire Districts to order abatement of overgrown, dead, dry, decayed, diseased, or hazardous vegetation that creates a fire hazard.
Annual fire-season inspections identify parcels with fire-hazard vegetation. Owners receive notice giving at least 15 calendar days to abate; failure triggers County abatement and a property lien. The Sacramento Metro Fire District inspects within its territory; the Fire Warden handles unincorporated areas without a fire district. Title 17 standards stack with Chapter 16.18 nuisance vegetation rules.
Forced abatement plus abatement-cost lien on the property. Repeat violators may face administrative penalties.
