Use the following weed abatement concern form to report a fire hazard or call the Fire Prevention Bureau at 760-723-2010. For all other illegal dumping and solid waste complaints please refer to this list of helpful phone numbers for various local and County services.

Please note we do not regulate vacant lots.

When filling out the weed abatement concern form, you MUST pinpoint on the map where the hazard is so that we can locate the appropriate address.

Please be mindful that notifying the property owner and, if necessary, forced hazard abatement, is a costly and time-consuming process that may take 60-90 days. We appreciate your patience in working with our residents to abate these hazards. 

If you have received a Notice to Abate Hazard per the NCFPD Ordinance 2000-01, please follow the instructions noted to avoid additional reinspection fees. You may call 760-723-2010 if you have any questions.
