The City of Fillmore Fire Department is conducting its annual Weed Abatement Program to reduce wildfire risk and improve community safety. Property inspections and notifications will occur throughout the year based on weather conditions and fire danger. Property owners are responsible for maintaining their lots and removing excessive dry vegetation to remain in compliance.

The City of Fillmore’s Weed Abatement Program is a proactive effort led by the Fire Department to reduce wildfire risk by ensuring properties are properly maintained and free of excessive dry vegetation.
Due to changing weather patterns and increased wildfire danger throughout the year, weed abatement enforcement now occurs year-round rather than during a single “fire season.” Property owners may receive notices based on inspections and weather conditions, particularly during periods of dry weather and increased Santa Ana wind activity.
The program includes property inspections, mailed notices, and follow-up contacts for properties that do not meet compliance standards. Owners are given time to clear weeds and hazardous vegetation before further enforcement actions are taken.
Properties that are missed initially or experience regrowth later in the year may be re-inspected and contacted again to ensure continued compliance.
The City’s goal is to help protect residents, neighborhoods, and businesses by reducing fire hazards and promoting community safety through responsible property maintenance.
