Mountain View property owners must control weeds and rank growth that create fire hazards, blight, or vermin habitat. Santa Clara County Fire handles abatement.
Mountain View weeds are regulated under the nuisance chapter of the Municipal Code and the Santa Clara County Fire Department Weed Abatement Program. Owners must remove dry grass, brush, rubbish, and other flammable material each year before fire season. The Fire Marshal issues a Commencement to Abate notice in spring listing properties needing work, with a deadline typically in late May or early June. Non-compliant parcels are mowed by a county contractor and the cost plus administrative fee is billed or placed as a property tax lien. Ongoing weed issues unrelated to fire season can be reported to Mountain View Code Enforcement for abatement under the nuisance code.
