IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ABATE WEEDS
Dear Property Owner:
To protect your property and the area surrounding it from possible fire, your jurisdiction,
contracts with the County of Santa Clara to operate a Weed Abatement Program. The County
is providing this notice and information packet to you as part of the Program. We encourage
you to read the information carefully, and do not hesitate to call us for clarification or other
information.
Your jurisdiction has or will adopt a resolution declaring your property as one that may contain
potential fire hazards from weeds or other debris. In addition, .your jurisdiction will be
conducting a public hearing to consider an abatement order to require you to remove any
hazardous vegetation or combustible debris. The public hearing will be held on the date and at
the place stated in the attached notice to destroy weeds. The ~ public hearing provides an
opportunity for you to raise any objections and/or concerns to the requirement that you remove
fire-hazardous vegetation and/or debris from your property prior to the deadline provided in the
attached abatement schedule.
The Weed. Abatement Program works in coordination with parcel owners if their property is
habitat to protected species of plants and/or animals. If you believe your parcel includes an
environmentally sensitive habitat, please check the box and ,explain this on the reply form to
assist us in determining the best approach to weed abatemen# at your property.
If after ~ the public hearing the Weed Abatement Program is approved for your property the
County is authorized by its contract with the cities, and by state law, to perform an inspection of
your property to determine whether the property has been cleared of hazards according to
Minimum Fire Safety Standards (see enclosed brochure). Inspections will begin after the
abatement deadline for your jurisdiction. This notice does not relieve you of your responsibility
to complete the necessary work prior to the deadline for your jurisdiction.
If you fail to complete the abatement work prior to the County. inspection of your property, you
will be responsible for the cost of the' inspection and your property will be scheduled for
abatement by the County contractor. If you complete the abatement work before the County
contractor, you will not be charged by the County. Should the abatement work be completed by
a County contractor, you will be assessed the contrac#or's charges plus a County administrative
fee. The County will use the least costly method of abatement considering the physical
characteristics of your property-and environmental concerns. Fees are detailed in the attached
price list. The total amount will be included as a special assessment on your property tax bill
following confirma#ion of the charges by your jurisdiction. Notice. of the date of that meeting will
be posted at a location prescribed by your jurisdiction (typically at the Civic Center) at least
three days prior to the meeting.
Board of Supervisors: Donald P. Gage, George Shirakawa, Dave Cortese, Ken Yeager, Liz Kniss 24 - 14
Connty Executive: Jeffrey V. Smith
You can avoid all costs by completing i:he abatement work yourself according to
Minimum Fire Safety Standards (see enclosed brochure) prior to the abatement deadline
for your jurisdiction and maintaining the Minimum Fire Safety Standards for the duration
of fire season, which typically runs through October. Parcels will be removed from the
program after three (3) consecutive years of voluntary compliance (work completed prior
to the deadline).
In preparation for this program, please take the time to complete and return the enclosed Reply
Form so that you inform us of your intentions reciarding maintenance of your property.
!f you designate in your reply that you intencl to abate the weeds yourself, you are
expected to complete the abatement before i:he deadline listed on the abatement
schedule and maintain fire safe conditions for the duration of the fire season.
Responding that you intend to provide maintenance yourself does not release you from
this responsibility to have the maintenance completed before your deadline~and repeated
as necessary to maintain Minimum Fire Safe Standards. County contractors will proceed
to abate hazardous vegetation as necessary after the deadline for your jurisdiction.
Enclosed you will find the following information:
/ A Reply Form specific to your properly. Please complete and return promptly.
/ A Notice to Destroy Weeds informing you of an upcoming public meeting that you
must attend if you have any objections to the proposed removal of hazardous
vegetation or debris from your property.
/ A Weed Abatement Program Schedulc3 for your city and a current County price
fist.
/ A Brochure about the Santa Clara County Weed Abatement Program.
Please be aware that any abatement performed by the County contractor must be in compliance
with al! applicable environmental protection re~aulations. If your property falls within an area
designated as possible habitat for. burrowing owls or any other protected species of bird or
animal, the methods of vegetation clearing may be regulated by specific laws or focal
ordinances.
if you are no longer the owner of the property identified by this mailing, please notify the County
immediately. if you sell your property after the date of this let#er, it is your responsibility to notify
the new owner-and to include the obligation to pay any abatement costs in your agreement of
sale. Without taking this action, you will be responsible for all hazard abatement charges
assessed to the property.
Our goal is voluntary compliance with the Minimum Fire Safety Standards, and it is our objective
to ensure that all properties are safe from firE~ at all #imes during the year. If you have any
questions about your property or need on-site ~~dvice to help you achieve compliance with the
Minimum Fire Standards, please call the Sani:a Clara County Weed Abatement Program at

inspection fee, even if the resident completes the weed
abatement. Properbes that meet and maintain the MFSS will
not be charged.

fire season, which is typically in March or April depending on
your jurisdiction. if the parcel is not in compliance at the time
of Inspection, the property owner will be charged an
inspection fee, and the owner will be sent a courtesy notice
as a reminder to abate the weeds. if the weeds are not
