Owner's Self Inspection
- Compare your native brush and landscape vegetation with the information in this website. If you are not able to do this yourself, hire a professional who can both understand the information and apply it to your property.
- Get a list of regional contractors: [ Brush Contractor List ]
- Clean your property as required prior to May 1 each year so that you pass the first fire department inspection thus avoiding a time consuming second inspection and a potentially costly $300 non-compliance fee.
- There is no need to call for an inspection at any time. Our computer system keeps track of all properties that are due for inspection. The appropriate inspector is notified that your property is due for inspection.
1st Inspection
- The first inspection is done by the LAFD Brush Task Force beginning the first week in May and continuing for approximately four weeks until all parcels in the brush zone have been inspected. Those parcels that are found to be in violation will be issued a notice of violation. The homeowner or person responsible will have 15 days to comply with the notice of violation.
2nd Inspection
- Those who where issued a notice of violation on the first inspection will be inspected a second time after the 15 day period to comply passes. If the property is in compliance, the owner will receive notification from the LAFD Brush Unit. If the property is not fully in compliance, the owner will be notified via the mail. Otherwise the property will be cleared by the fire department.
- Please do not call the LAFD Brush Unit when your ready for this inspection. The inspection will be automatically scheduled and you will be mailed the findings of the inspection.
- The property owner will be charged for the cost of clearance, PLUS the $300* Inspection Fee, PLUS a $1026* Administrative Fee.
