Solano County Code Chapter 12.5, Article II (Abatement of Flammable Material) lets the county's fire protection officer flag flammable material that creates a fire hazard. The applicable fire protection district can then clear the land itself or order the owner to remove dry grass, stubble, brush, rubbish, litter or other flammable material. If an owner doesn't comply, the county or the district can do the work. The reasonable cost becomes a lien once a notice is recorded, and it can be added to the next year's tax bill or collected in court. The chapter itself doesn't set a clearance width. Vacaville Fire Protection District describes weed abatement as clearance of 100 feet around all structures, or to the property line if that is closer.

Local rules and deadlines
In unincorporated areas, Solano County Code Chapter 12.5 lets the local fire protection district clear land, or order it cleared, of dry grass, stubble, brush, rubbish and litter that create a fire hazard. If an owner doesn’t comply, the county or district can do the work. The cost becomes a recorded lien that can be added to the next tax bill. The code leaves the clearance width to the district and state law. Vacaville Fire Protection District defines weed abatement as 100 feet around all structures, or to the property line. CAL FIRE’s defensible space zones run to the same 100 feet, with annual grass cut to 4 inches in the 30–100 foot zone.
County resources
The county Fire Ready page links local fire safe councils in Benicia, Glen Cove, Green Valley and Pleasants Valley. It also links the countywide Solano Fire Safe Council, a partnership of local councils, CAL FIRE, local government and the Solano RCD. Questions about the new hazard-zone building rules go to the county Building Division at 707-784-6765. The contractors listed below serve Solano County and can clear brush and dry grass to your fire district’s standard.
Frequently asked questions 5
Who enforces weed and brush clearance in unincorporated Solano County?
Under County Code Chapter 12.5, the fire protection district that serves your area clears or orders the clearing of flammable material, after the county's fire protection officer brings a hazard to its attention. For example, Vacaville Fire Protection District's Prevention Bureau (707-447-2252) takes complaints about neighbors' dry weeds.
How wide does the clearance have to be?
Chapter 12.5 doesn't set a width. Vacaville Fire Protection District defines weed abatement as 100 feet of clearance around all structures, or to the property line if that is less. CAL FIRE's defensible space zones likewise reach 100 feet or the property line.
What happens if I don't clear flammable material?
If you don't comply with a clearance order, the county or fire district can do the work. The reasonable cost becomes a lien once a notice is recorded with the County Assessor/Recorder, and it can be added to your next tax bill or collected in court.
