Re: Weed Abatement April 30 Deadline Reminder
This is a reminder that your property is on the Weed Abatement Program for public
nuisance (weeds) pursuant to Section 9.08 of the Cupertino Municipal Code. Please refer
to the attached Minimum Fire Safety Standards (MFSS) guidelines (see reverse side) to
make the corrections that are necessary by the April 30 deadline.
Property owners are required to keep their property free of fire hazards —such as weeds —
throughout the year. However, the Minimum Fire Safety Standards (MFSS) are required
to be met each year by the April 30 deadline.
County staff annually inspect parcels at the beginning of the fire season beginning April
30 through the end of October. All fees will be included in your property tax bill. All
parcels in the Weed Abatement Program will be subject to a county inspection fee of
$296.00. In addition to the $296 annual inspection fee, if the parcel is found non -compliant
at the time of our inspection, the parcel will be assessed a processing fee of $953 per parcel,
and the property will be scheduled for abatement by the County -designated contractor.
You will not incur additional charges if the abatement work is completed before the
County -designated contractor arrives. However, should the County -designated
contractor perform the abatement work, the parcel will incur the cost associated with the
contractor's work plus an additional County administrative fee of $1,383 per parcel. For
those parcels requiring a warrant, a fee of $3,006 per parcel will be assessed.
If the compliance work identified for your property involves brush or weed removal, you
may request the services of the approved County of Santa Clara abatement contractor. If
you are interested in this service, please call the Hazardous Vegetation Service line at (408)
282-3145 to request more information and/or to schedule an inspection appointment for a
cost estimate.
If you have any questions about the information on this notice,. please contact the Santa
Clara County Department of Agriculture, Hazardous Vegetation Management Program
at (408) 918-4600.
